Is the public AMI id ami-119c7d78 complete (current), as in, a totally pre-rolled "Mercury," deployment?
Is there another AMI to watch? Where is that sort of info 'kept'?
Any instructions on what to worry about when migrating a Drupal site (6.16) into Mercury?
Context for my questions...
I was on chat with Greg a year or so ago getting into the EC2 tools and testing AMIs.
I'm in a place now to take a client into the cloud and would love to get a handle on how to be "standing on the shoulders of giants." :)
I was looking through this roll-it page linked form the Pantheon site ( http://groups.drupal.org/pantheon/mercurywiki ) and trying to understand why (or whether) I needed to do this, and whether there was a complete, pre-rolled AMI.
Great work, and I look forward to getting started!

I sure hope so
I've been following this with great interest. Went to amazon and created an account...even got as far as putting up a successful drupal 6 image. But as the discussions in the Pantheon group went on, I got deeper and deeper into the cornflakes. It was so far far over my head that all I can do is hope that a pre-rolled install somehow comes out the other end :>)
Yes, great work
Real soon now
If we don't have this by Drupalcon, I will be run out of town on a rail. ;)

The 1.0 ami is complete
The current public AMI is a complete package. All you need to do is install your site.
On our end, there's a lot of documentation to do of course. Bear with us as we get it all together.

I agree its a working box
I agree its a working box right out of the box even the older releases were.. the install instructions are simple and in the /root directory. Nice thing about AWS is that you can kick, punch, pull and do whatever to your instance and when it gets all chafty you just spin up another; its a very handy learning tool. Plus you can always create another ami off your creation so its easy to spin up a fresh one with your tweaks when needed. Be sure you read up in the Amazon docs they have a massive resource that should be helpful.
