[ec2-beta] Fwd: [Fwd: Announcing the AWS Management Console]]

[Eric Hammond]

Thomas:

The external button push bundling in the AWS console and the EC2 Firefox 
extension are only for instances running Windows images provided by Amazon.

The RightScale interface has button push bundling for Linux images built 
with RightScale software hooks.

Other Linux images need to be bundled using the EC2 AMI command line 
tools (ec2-bundle-vol, ec2-upload-bundle) run on the instance itself.

The official Ubuntu beta AMIs do not currently have these installed, but 
you can download and install them yourself.  (Ask if you need help.)
