This report covers work since the last &os;/EC2 status report + (2015Q1).

+ +

&os;/EC2 is now part of the regular &os; release build, + with snapshots and releases being automatically uploaded and + copied to all available regions. Due to legal restrictions + this does not currently include the GovCloud or China + (Beijing) regions; anyone wishing to use &os; in those regions + is encouraged to contact the author.

+ +

The AWS Marketplace reports that approximately 800 users + are running roughly 2000 &os; EC2 instances. This does not + count the likely significantly larger number of EC2 instances + launched "directly" through the EC2 API and Console, but at + least places a lower bound on usage.

+ +

&os; 11.0-RELEASE shipped with support for the "enhanced + networking" support in EC2 C3, C4, R3, I2, D2, and M4 + (excluding m4.16xlarge) instances; this provides significantly + higher network performance than the virtual networking + available on older EC2 instances and with older versions of + &os;.

+ +

&os; 11.0-RELEASE and later also use indirect segment disk + I/Os, which yield ~20% higher throughput with equal or lower + latency, and support the 128-vCPU x1.32xlarge instance + type.

+ +

&os; now supports the Amazon Simple Systems Manager service + ("run command").

+ + + + Complete a pending reorganization of the accounts used for &os;/EC2 + releases. + + Support "second generation enhanced networking" via + the new Elastic Network Adapter found in P2, R4, X1, and + m4.16xlarge instances. + + Provide tools for improved functionality via the Simple + Systems Manager service: Listing installed packages, checking + for updates, adding/removing users, [your favourite sysadmin + task goes here]. + + Add support for EC2's IPv6 networking to the default &os;/EC2 + configuration. + + Continue ongoing interoperability testing between &os;'s + NFS client and Amazon Elastic File System + (NFS-as-a-service). + +
