Questions
What does EC2, AMI, AKI and ARI stand for?
- EC2: Elastic Compute Cloud, the Xen based virtual data center Amazon Web Services offers
- AMI: Amazon Machine Image, the Xen DomU guest virtual machine.
- AKI: Amazon Kernel Image, the Xen guest paravirtualized kernel used by an AMI.
- ARI: Amazon Ramdisk Image, the Xen guest paravirtualized ramdisk used by an AMI.
How can I use the Ubuntu on EC2 Images? Are there minimum requirements for it?
To use our images, just follow the instructions on the official web page. There is no minimum requirements for it. Amazon EC2 is however not the simplest of environments and requires some reading in order to master it, so be prepared to it...
How much does it cost to run Ubuntu on EC2?
There is no fee charged by us for you to run Ubuntu on EC2. EC2 does however charge instances according to their pricing, which is totally independent of us. In the future we may offer AMI on DevPay for a fee, but this will only be useful for those that would like to get bundled support with it, or rights to use Landscape.
What was used to build the EC2 images and can I use it to build my own images?
Ubuntu's vmbuilder was used to build it, together with its ec2 plug in. To use it, install the python-vm-builder-ec2 package. The process is detailed on the Ubuntu|wiki.
How do I terminate an instance which I cannot connect to?
The command ec2kill <instance> will do just that.
How am I informed of a new AMI availability
We'll provide the information on the mailing list when we upload a new AMI. In the future, an a specific blog with an RSS feed you can subscribe to will also be created.
Where do I report a bug I am encountering
If you think that your bug is specific to the Ubuntu on EC2 images we provide, please report it in the launchpad project, otherwise report it as a regular Ubuntu bug. Feel free to submit your problem to the mailing list if you are unsure.
Is there an IRC chan about Ubuntu on EC2
Yes, simply join #ubuntu-server on Freenode. There is also ##aws on Freenode (irc.freenode.net) for general, non-ubuntu specific, Amazon Web Services chat and help.
I have a question that is not answered here
If you also have the answer to it, feel free to add it here ;). Otherwise, please ask your question on the mailing list, or ask a question on the launchpad project.
