OK but what is the effort required to build my own? (it appears to be 
more difficult than just a ks build?).  And if I can roll my own, I 
presume I can upload it to my account in the Sydney region?

I guess it is so close . . I should just be patient and wait for it to 
show up . . I've never been good at that . .

Thanks,

Phil.

The kickstart comes from

  http://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/cloud-kickstarts.git/tree/ec2

It's built (into a raw image) in Fedora's Koji build system using
appliance-creator, and then processed and uploaded to EC2 using scripts
from https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/browser/scripts/cloud.

That has a lot of Fedora-rel-eng-specific stuff, though. For building your
own, I think ami-creator is probably the easiest. See:
https://github.com/katzj/ami-creator.

All that said - I believe that we upload the final release to nearly all regions, though
if someone else would like to confirm that it might be more factual and less based upon my
memory :)

Correct -- release engineering will do that with the final release in a few
days. This is for if:

a) you want to test earlier
b) you want to try something slightly different
c) you're just curious about what happens behind the scenes.

Indeed, all of which are awesome. :)
