Don't worry about fonts or layout -- this is work in progress. Looking for
feedback on content. Please send that to Robert Mayr (aka robyduck) via irc
or email.

Thanks!

I'd be happy to review this a bit later, and give feedback to robyduck.
Just out of curiosity though, is any of this intended to make its way into
the Cloud Guide?  Or is Cloud Guide completely abandoned from the
perspective of the Cloud SIG?

A few things I've noticed in going through the document:

* The URL for AWS pricing has changed from
http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/#pricing to http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/
* Please make sure the .iamrc file gets created in the user's home
directory.  This wasn't explicitly mentioned in the instructions.
* In the "Creating a key pair" section, there's an extra percentage sign
(%) in the first paragraph
* In your ssh example, you log in as the "ec2-user" user, when you should
log in as the "fedora" user on the Fedora AMIs.
* It would probably be helpful to explain where to find the various AMIs
for Fedora images in the various regions (

I really should have checked the Cloud Guide a bit closer before saying
that -- it seems this page is pretty much a copy/paste from the Amazon EC2
section of the Cloud Guide.  And when I went to check to see who had
written that section of the Cloud Guide, I found that it was mostly me :-/

That still begs the question though -- does anybody else but me care about
the Cloud Guide, or have any interest in working on it with me?

This is on our list of deliverables:

Yes, but probably not something I'll be able to pay attention to for a
few weeks.

Best,

I've poked at it in relatively recent history, and maybe even corrected the
source for some of the things you've pointed out (or at least made notes :)

Definitely something I'm interested in working on, but time and the
experience gap have combined forces against me.

I think the overall idea is that it is _practically_ abandoned, but not
because anyone wants it to be, just that no one has done anything about it.
It'd be great to see it revived, and as Joe mentioned, it _is_ on our giant
todo list.
