[Bug 615545] Re: Instances launched in a VPC cannot access ec2.archive.ubuntu.com

[cloudcontrol]

Agree with Eric- this will be less expensive in the long run, though
potential to use CDN for the mirror is intriguing.

One last point in support of CNAMEs- in case there is unease with
relying on the CNAME solution (as Canonical does not control routing in
EC2), rest assured that this method is supported and recommended by EC2
engineering team and is used by virtually every large deployment on EC2.

One additional benefit is that, with a low time-to-live value, you can
easily replace a troubled repo server with a simple "ec2-associate-
elastic-ip" command.
