OK, so, to move forward with this (and looping in cloud list): does
someone want to propose a set (ideally small - 2 would be great, one
Xen and one non-Xen, if we can cover most common usages that way!) of
EC2 instance types we should test on? With that, we could tweak the
criteria a bit to specify those instance types, tweak the Cloud
validation page a bit, and then drop the Xen criterion and test case.
Thanks everyone!

Hi folks! We're currently still discussing adjusting the release
criteria to explicitly require Fedora releases to boot in EC2. Someone
pointed out that if we're going to require that, it would be good if we
had an account allowing EC2 access for testing, so individual Fedora
testers don't have to potentially pay out-of-pocket just to test Fedora
works in EC2. Does anyone know if we have an existing arrangement with
Amazon for this? Thanks!

Dear all,
Join us on irc.freenode.net in #fedora-meeting-1 for the Fedora 31
Beta Release Readiness meeting. This meeting will be held on
Thursday, 2019-09-12 at 19:00 UTC.
We will meet to make sure we are coordinated and ready for the release
of Fedora 31 Beta. Please note that this meeting will be held even if
the release is delayed at the Go/No-Go meeting on the same day two
hours earlier.
You may receive this message several times in order to open this
meeting to the teams and to raise awareness, so hopefully more team
representatives will come to this meeting. This meeting works best
when we have representatives from all of the teams.
For more information, see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_Readiness_Meetings.
