Hey, all! I work for AWS, and I put together a quick HOWTO on setting up a
Fedora 37 instance using KVM, and then converting it to a format that can be
used to create a new EC2 instance on AWS. Note that this is a personal project,
is not endorsed by AWS, and was not produced by AWS. It’s just me.

I am not a web guy, I just did a super basic HTML page using Seahorse. It’s
literally something I threw together, and I am sure I missed some things, but I
hope that it is helpful for anyone who wants to build their own image. I know
there are a bunch of images already out there in the community, but I wanted to
document how to do it for yourself.
I hope you find it helpful!
The first questions that comes into my mind: why not use cloud image for
Amazon? It’s not Fedora Server, but something alike. But that is your kickstart
as well. Or use the generic cloud image, which includes cloud-init, and adjust
that?
And just in case you whish to provide a (real) Fedora Server, why don’t you use
the provided KVM image and add some specifics apps using e.g. guestfish on the
image (as described in the Fedora Server documentation)? Or use the kickstart
from Fedora repository and add some specific apps to it?
I’m just curious, no criticism. I created the KVM image and know about the
difficulties and peculiarities using kickstart and imagefactory.
Thanks for the response! I could have, and probably should have, used
Amazon EC2 Image Builder (https://aws.amazon.com/image-builder/), but I
wanted to understand all the steps myself. And I specifically wanted the
Fedora server build. This was mostly a thought exercise/learning
experience thing, to be honest. I hoped that it would be helpful in case
anyone else wanted to understand all the steps. Pure learning exercise.
I had to look all over the web to find the right steps to build my own
image and make it work. There were some things I had to find on Red
Hat's web site, other things I needed to figure out from the AWS web
site, and some trial and error things because there was stuff that
weren't clearly documented or intuitive/obvious (like the recent change
that S3 buckets require encryption).
Honestly, this was just me nerding out and having fun, and I wanted to
share it in case anyone else wanted to do the same.

Take care!
Thomas
