Building AMI for AWS EC2

[Simon McFarlane]

Hi all,

Now that the Xen guest stuff is getting some love, I think it would be 
fun to toy around with OpenBSD on EC2 (particularly because of EBS -- 
other VPS providers like the old standby ARP Networks don't allow you to 
attach copious amounts of storage to a low-spec system).

There are a couple public AMIs available, but I'm curious as to how they 
are built. It'd be pretty cool to be able to build a given snapshot into 
an AMI, rather than be dependent on whomever is creating the public ones.

If the builder of the public AMIs is reading this, I'd love to hear what 
your process is.

Thanks,
Simon
