On: Announcing VM Import for Amazon EC2

[krobertson]

They announce it when only support Windows Server 2008 SP2? Seems rather underwhelming when that is all you can import.

Building an AMI or cooking with chef/knife is easy enough, but I know a lot of people who'd like that kind of simplicity. Just too bad it is only one OS.

It's just a starting point.

And I bet they focused on Windows because there aren't as many great provisioning tools as there are for Linux.
