RE: Call for Testing: Stretch Cloud Images on AWS
Hello Noah
I saw your blog post (which I've attached to this email), then the next
time I needed an EC2 instance I tested the images on a non-IPv6 region
(SG) and an IPv6 enabled VPC
overall the image looks fine, no extraneous things, sysctl is clean,
etc. great job. :)
however there is a thing I'd like to see changed
/etc/network/interfaces
I remember reading about #846583 on the list but I didn't have anything
to say back then.
could you move the configuration for eth1 to eth8 to
/etc/network/interfaces.d/? also can you _please_ move out of
/usr/local the helper?
i'd like to see an /e/n/interfaces like this
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
# other interfaces are independently configured in /etc/network/interfaces.d/
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet6 manual
up /lib/inet6-ifup-helper
down /lib/inet6-ifup-helper
$ ls -l /etc/network/interfaces.d/
eth1
eth2
....
eth8
- cloud-init complains when net-tools is not installed (it appears to
work anyway) bug #853926
- I'd like to see all locales installed (but I understand that is a topic
for another discussion)
I know my complains are mostly esthetics, but is part of the user
experience the first time he/she logins into an instance.
thanks!

Following up on [Steve McIntyre's writeup](https://lists.debian.org/debian-
sprints/2016/11/msg00018.html) of the Debian Cloud Sprint that took place in
Seattle this past November, I'm pleased to announce the availability of
preliminary Debian stretch AMIs for Amazon EC2. Pre-generated images are
available in all public AWS regions, or you can use [FAI](http://wiki.fai-
project.org/wiki/Main_Page) with the [fai-cloud-
images](https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/cloud/fai-cloud-images.git/)
configuration tree to generate your own images. The pre-generated AMIs were
created on 25 January, shortly after Linux 4.9 entered stretch, and their
details follow:
ami-6d017002 | ap-south-1
---|---
ami-cc5540a8 | eu-west-2
ami-43401925 | eu-west-1
ami-870edfe9 | ap-northeast-2
ami-812266e6 | ap-northeast-1
ami-932e4aff | sa-east-1
ami-34ce7350 | ca-central-1
ami-9f6dd8fc | ap-southeast-1
ami-829295e1 | ap-southeast-2
ami-42448a2d | eu-central-1
ami-98c9348e | us-east-1
ami-57361332 | us-east-2
ami-03386563 | us-west-1
ami-7a27991a | us-west-2
As with the current jessie images, these use a default username of 'admin',
with access controlled by the ssh key named in the ec2 `run-instances`
invocation. They're intended to provide a reasonably complete Debian
environment without too much bloat. IPv6 addressing should be supported in an
[appropriately configured VPC
environment](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/vpc-
migrate-ipv6.html).
These images were build using Thomas Lange's [FAI](http://wiki.fai-
project.org/wiki/Main_Page), which has been used for over 15 years for
provisioning all sorts of server, workstation, and VM systems, but which only
recently was adapted for use generating cloud disk images. It has proven to be
well suited to this task though, and image creation is straightforward and
flexible. I'll describe in a followup post the steps you can follow to create
and customize your own AMIs based on our recipes. In the meantime, please do
test these images! You can submit bug reports to the
[cloud.debian.org](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=cloud.debian.org;dist=unstable) metapackage, and
feedback is welcome via the [debian-cloud](https://lists.debian.org/debian-
cloud/) mailing list or `#debian-cloud` on IRC.
