F21 base AMIs available in both HVM and PV, plus smaller disk size

[David Gay]

Hey nerds,

I've got Fedimg properly registering cloud base images as both HVM and PV. (I also added multithreading to the upload process!) Previously, base images were only available as PV. Now, base images are available in both formats. (Atomic images will never be available in PV, as they require HVM).

Also, as per a previous thread on this list, I've reduced the disk requirement from 12 GB to our minimum, 3 GB.

Attached is a signed text file containing a list of AMIs that were just registered today. I used the official F21 x86_64 base cloud image that we have as the official download on our website. Everything seems to be working for me, but in case I missed something, or if you have something to say, please let me know.

A thread per region? Which regions are you sending to?

There's not a thread per region. Just a thread per upload process. Right now, it's just the EC2 HVM AMI creation happening at the same time as the PV-grub AMI creation. (In truth, a lot of the process is duplicated, but just running one process per AMI type is a quick 'fix' for now.) The image is registered in one region, and then a test is run on the created AMI. If the test passes, a region-to-region copy is done to all of the other regions. The threading is useful even though there are currently only 1-2 processes running simultaneously, because the upload processes involve a lot of waiting for things to happen on EC2's side.

I hope that made some sense... :P
