Using S3 based VMDK to boot EC2

This is the post excerpt.

So the first question ,you would ask is “why ?” the answers are pretty compelling but i would put the reasons as

you just want to upload your VM estate straight into S3 ,and then use the fat pipe between EC2 and S3 (40 – 50 megabits per second) to use S3 to boot EC2 .

you want to have a bootable AMI instance but AWS does not seem to allow this,so its a bit like in VM using a bootable ISO to build your VM , AWS does not allow you to mount ISO and then reboot their AMI’s from disc.
