[Fedora-xen] Virt Machine Manager + Amazon S3 for EC2 usage
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey guys, I just saved a minimal FC7 installation to a local file, and am in the process of uploading it to Amazon S3 with the intention of creating an Amazon EC2 virtual instance. The way I formatted my file was quite simple... its just one ext3 root directory (so no swap, boot, LVM, etc... directories). Has anyone done this before? Were you successful? Amazon''s Developer Guide suggests using Yum to install the operating system, but I thought that using the Virtual Machine Manager would be a lot easier. Anyways, I am in the (long) process of uploading a 2.5 GB image to S3, so I wanted to hear some feedback as to whether or not this will work as smoothly as I hope before I waste any more time. Thanks in advance!
