Support for building Amazon Machine Images ("AMIs") for + Amazon EC2 is now in the src tree, via make + ec2ami in src/release. The platform is functional and + stable, and pre-built images are available in all of the public + EC2 regions.

+ +

The Amazon Web Services Marketplace reports that + approximately 400 users are running approximately 800 &os; EC2 + instances. This is an underestimate since it only counts + instances launched via the AWS Marketplace.

+ + + + +

MFC AMI-building code to stable/10 in time for &os; + 10.2-RELEASE.

+ + + +

Complete the AMI-building handoff to the release + engineering team.

+ + + +

Teach the blkfront driver to use indirect segment + requests in order to significantly increase I/O performance.

+ + + +

Get working SR-IOV driver for the Intel network cards + found in EC2 "Enhanced Networking" in order to significantly + increase networking performance.
