We do publish AMI IDs on the FreeBSD website, in the release announcements. But it's unwieldy enough including 2 architectures x 17 regions worth of AMI IDs in the announcement emails already; it would be impractical to include 2 architectures x 2 filesystems (UFS vs ZFS) x 4 flavours (minimal, base, cloudinit, AMI Builder) x 17 regions in each announcement. -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
