Hi Josef!

I've done this for other things and found the method is just wee touch convoluted as the build doesn't happen on Amazon at all.

In broad brush strokes:

1.) build a virtual image locally (VMWare, Virtualbox etc)

2.) Export the image from the virtualization environment as an OVA

3.) Upload the OVA to S3

4.) "Import" the S3 image.  You have to use AWS command line tools/client for this step.

      And no, they aren't actually on Amazon, but on your local system

When I did this, I had to pre-include the ssh keys, so I haven't fully mastered the process, but it was good enough for the task at hand.
