Hi guys, it just might be me, but clicking the AMI from http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/ is broken to me. So I just did it via the normal Create Instance Wizard. I just though some people might have the same issue. Sorry if my markdown for links is screwed up, I went by the examples, since I'm used to the `[]()` traditional one. Cheers.

Just had a look.. I don't (necessarily) disagree with the other approach to search from the AWS dashboard. But if I try it you get 30+ images from all sorts of vendors. None of which clearly labeled 'official ubuntu', and many of them with stuff pre-installed. And regarding the link from the cloud-images.ubuntu.com site.. It does look like they are broken, but my guess is that this can or will be fixed upstream. That would be my preferred solution. Edit: |

Hi Vitor, It looks like the cloud-images site is back up, and so I'd like to keep the instructions as they are. But thank you very much for documenting the all-in-AWS approach! If cloud-images proves to be unreliable then I will use your update. Thanks again for trying to make things better! /Andy |

Hi @metalivedev , the cloud-images site was always up, but when you click the link it opened a dead end screen on AWS, sorry if I didn't explain myself correctly. Anyway, it could have just been me (browser/os/whatever) at that time, but double check that if you click an image you get a functional workflow on AWS. |

Ahhh ... ok, I see the problem now. Reopening and I'll dig into it some more tomorrow. I'll first see if I can get Ubuntu to fix their site's link to Amazon. If that looks like it will take a while, then I'll pull in your changes. Thanks! |

Thanks @metalivedev for taking another look, I'm happy with either solution 💡 |
|
@dhrp, do you want me to send a request that contains both methods? |
|
Ok they're missing the "v2" from their paths, probably something that Amazon added recently: I've filed a report with them but it will take a few days for them to get back to me. |
|
Ok, I'm pulling this in so that folks experimenting over the upcoming holidays don't get bitten. But I will probably revert it when (if) Ubuntu fix their site. |
