At the end of July, I gave a presentation at O’Reilly’s Open Source Convention (OSCON 2009) in San Jose. The slides from the presentation have been made available on the OSCON web site in ODP and PDF formats (look for links towards the top of the page):

Building Custom Linux Images for Amazon EC2

Bonus: For folks who live around Los Angeles (or who want to fly in?), I will be giving an extended version of this talk at the UUASC-LA (Unix Users Association of Southern California, Los Angeles Chapter) meeting on Thursday, September 3, 2009. The presentation is free and open to all. Please read the directions and instructions on the UUASC web site carefully.

I will be speaking at the O’Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON 2009) next week, giving a presentation on building custom images for Amazon EC2.

Though the presentation is primarily about doing it yourself with the practical portion focusing on Ubuntu images, I wanted to mention some of the third party services which can be used to build images of any kind for EC2.

If you run, use, or are aware of one of these AMI building services, please send me a message or post a comment on this entry.
