[OpenIndiana-discuss] Amazon AMI

[Deano]

The existing OpenSolaris JeOS work was partly motivated for such uses, we
are looking at getting a similar minimal configuration working for OI. It
should be fairly simple to go from that to a nice small virtual image in the
main cloud formats (just as JeOS did).
Given some of the benefits that the illumos kernel comes with in regards
storage and networking, I suspect it will make a very nice base cloud
compute image.

Hello, 

Are there any plans for creating an Amazon AMI to use on Amazon's cloud?
This would lower the entry barrier for a lot of potential users. 

Perhaps a VMware image and/or OVF template would also be of help to make the
project more popular.
