Hi,
I've the beginning of Guix cloud images available over at Github at
https://github.com/ofosos/guix-packer/
There's a small writeup of what has been done and what's still missing over
here:
https://ofosos.org/2018/03/26/guix-images-01/
All in all, I split the heavy lifting between Packer (AWS API calls) and `guix
system` and that worked remarkably well. There's some integration with EC2 (You
can inject a pubkey into the image via the console), but there's also a lot of
stuff missing. In the end, I would like to provide public cloud images in some
weeks time. Of course you'll have all the tools to rebuild your own images
(surprisingly simple).
I think there's still a lot of polish we can apply, but at some point we'll
need some help from AWS. I do have AWS support access at work, but am not
really comfortable to use company resources for this yet, but I'll probably ask
if there's some avenue to get some 'official' help as a free software project,
when I run across our technical account manager.
Cheers, Mark
