Public bug reported: [Availability] ec2-instance-connect is in the Ubuntu archive, and available for all supported releases. It is available on all architectures despite only being useful on Amazon EC2 instances.
[Rationale] This package is useful on Amazon EC2 instances to make use of a new feature: Instance Connect; which allows storing SSH keys for access online in the Amazon systems. These SSH keys are then retrieved to be used by the system's SSH service, collated with pre-existing keys as deployed on the system. Installing the package enables the use of Instance Connect on an instance. [Security] This is a new package, and as such has no security history to speak of. [Quality Assurance] The package consists in a few shell scripts that are difficult to test by themselves due to the high reliance on Amazon's Instance Connect service; which is online and limited to use on Amazon instances. Given that it's a new package, there are no long-term outstanding bugs in Ubuntu or Debian. The package is only maintained in Ubuntu at the moment. This package deals with special "hardware"; it is only useful on Amazon instances, and its support is required as a default deployment on such instances when deployed with Ubuntu. [UI Standards] Not applicable. This service is command-line only and has no configuration options. [Dependencies] There are no special dependencies to speak of. [Standards Compliance] This package has been thoroughly reviewed by a few Canonical engineers, there are no standards violations known. [Maintenance] This package is to be owned by the Ubuntu Foundations team. [Background Information] This is Amazon-specific, as previously mentioned. ** Affects: ec2-instance-connect (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835114 Title: [MIR] ec2-instance-connect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ec2-instance-connect/+bug/1835114/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
