Everything I do is taking a copy of an existing bootable machine and cloning the disc, or using 'zfs send' to send it to another place and dump onto a disc there ((OK, for that I spin up a temprary machine from the marketplace to attach the drive to I guess). Works great. You;ll need to install waaagent, but apart from that then just moving the machine will work fine. Oh, and dont try using accelerated networking, as currently it panics.... but we are pretty happy overall :-) -pete.
