[ubuntu-cloud-announce] Amazon issues with EBS affect Ubuntu images in the EU-WEST region

[Scott Moser]

Another update, which is primarily an apology to Amazon.  We are grateful
for their help in this matter.

When I wrote the above, I was under the mistaken impression that the
DescribeSnapshots API was giving us inconsistent data.  That was not the
case. It was an error in the logic we put into place today to link
snapshot-id to ami-id that caused us to misidentify the released Ubuntu
builds as affected. Our primary concern in the notification was to prevent
our Ubuntu users from avoid unexpected issues and in our haste acted
on bad information.

The list of AMIs below is correct.
