Tom White commented on WHIRR-88:
--------------------------------
Image creation is cloud-specific, and should be viewed as an optimization. See
EBSBootEC2ClientLiveTest for how to create EBS AMIs on EC2 using jclouds.
CloudServersClientLiveTest has some code for creating images in Rackspace.

> Much of the time taken to start a cluster is in installing the software on
> the instances. By allowing users to build their own images it would make
> cluster launches faster. The way this could work is by having a create image
> step that brings up an instance and runs the install scripts on it before
> creating an image from it. The resulting image would then be used in
> subsequent launches.
