AWS Experience Part 12: Frustration

Hi all,

As you already know, I've been messing around with virtual machine images on Amazon Web Services. It's been a lo of fun, but sometimes it has been very, very frustrating.

• The whole region thing is perplexing at best. When I launch an AMI in the US-East region, I usually can't access it.
• It's easy to access Fedora images, but OpenSolaris is a differen story. I can't get an OpenSolaris image to show up in my browser. Hmmmmm.
• After putting in hours of work, the image suddenly cannot be accessed. Ouch!

Cheers!
