Hi, all. I've built a system for high-performance distribution of encrypted EBS-backed AMIs betwen accounts and regions. This system typically takes 4-5 minutes to go from content (such as a tarfile of the root file-system) to globally available AMIs.
Since Aminator is designed for high performance image
building, coupling that with a high performance AMI
distribution system may be of interest. I'd be interested in collaborating with anyone who is interested in doing some of that integration work.
For more details on the ami-publisher (I really need to come up with a name as catchy as Aminator:-), please see the design document:
