[CoreOS] Re: EC2 access for testing?

[Geoffrey Marr]

I have been using Amazon's "Free Tier" cloud machines to test EC2 images
since 2016. Anyone with an Amazon account (which is free) can spin up a
"free tier" machine to run the tests on. With access so easy, is it
Fedora's job to provide users/testers with an account with which to test
these images?
