meeting room is on the RIT campus in the Golisano College of Computing
and Information Sciences building (70). Room 70-2400 is close to the

AMI Lifecycle Management for Amazon EC2
Field Engineering Manager Dave Johnson of rPath will demo the rBuilder
Appliance Creator and rBuilder Catalog for EC2 to automate the
assembly of software components, the creation of AMIs and the
deployment of images to EC2. The solution is free for AWS developers.
It enables the ability to securely integrate your AWS account
credentials, allowing you to launch, manage, and retire application
images for EC2 directly from within the product. Dynamic search and
catalog capabilities provide a basis for future management activities
directed at large scale catalogs of machine images.
