Ubuntu AMIs available for Amazon EC2 in Asia Pacific (Singapore)

| 3 Comments

Amazon EC2 just launched the Asia Pacific region with data centers in Singapore.

The standard Ubuntu and Debian AMIs (Amazon Machine Images) from Canonical and Alestic are already available in this new region. I have listed the new AMI ids in the table at the top of Alestic.com.

To see the AMIs, simply click on the ap-southeast-1 tab in the table at the top.

If you’re just getting into using Ubuntu on Amazon EC2, consider joining the EC2 Ubuntu group for community support.

What is the apt source mirror for APAC (*.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com)?

Thanks.

The mirror should show up eventually at ap-southeast-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com but it appears that Canonical IS has not yet set it up.

RightScale has a DNS entry for their Singapore EC2 Ubuntu mirror (ec2-ap-southeast-mirror.rightscale.com) but it is currently pointing at the us-east-1 mirror.

Thanks Eric.

I'm currently using RightScale's US East's mirror.

I shall update that to ec2-ap-southeast-mirror.rightscale.com though it's just a pointer for now.
