Rationale: There is significant value to both the community and paid
customers in having Canonical own and maintaining images on major cloud-
vendors.
Assumptions:
* There are literally thousands of public Ubuntu public images; each public image is slightly different and is confusing to customers.
* Owning our own images will help to reduce vendor customization and make for a consistent experience across different cloud-vendors.
* There will be new major cloud-vendors that will want the official images, or on which we want to publish images.
* The current system was design for publishing images to one vendors in multiple regions
* Amazon AWS is growing with new services and new regions, which may stress the current system
UDS Deciusions:
To provide multiple ways for different cloud vendors to consume the official Ubuntu images. The four methods decided on are:
1. Push Ubuntu images to all EC2 regions
2. Provide a public glance server for OpenStack Deployments. OpenStack to make changes to support multiple glance registry servers.
3. Provide a sync script for people to pull the latest images for OpenStack
4. Provide a sync script for people to pull the latest images for Eucalpytus
