The 2015 article http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2015-11-21-Fre= eBSD-AMI-builder-AMI.html mentions one in us-east-1 ami-28682f42. Are there mo= re? Or a documented procedure on using RE tools to achieve the same? I am particularly interested in recompiling 11.1 release kernel, adding a g= ood few packages (to speed up instance launch time) and creating an AMI out = of that. Of course, I can take the lazy route of building a normal AWS AMI, = which will not be as =E2=80=9Cclean and unused=E2=80=9D as the one suggested= in Colin=E2=80=99s article. But if there is a current way to do the cleaner= thing, I would like to know, please. Many thanks, Rafal -- Rafal Lukawiecki Data Scientist Project Botticelli Ltd
