[ec2-beta] APT repository for EC2

[Denis Hennessy]

I can't access the server from my VM:

$ ping us.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com
PING us.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com (10.253.114.113) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- us.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 9003ms

When I do an apt-get update, it fails to hit the server and uses  
security.ubuntu.com instead. Package installs work but this seems  
wrong...

$ sudo apt-get update
