You can now migrate Amazon Linux based AMIs between regions of your choice in Ylastic. Select your AMI, the region you want to migrate to, and that's it.
Get an email when the migration is completed.
Launch an instance at your leisure from the new AMI and off you go.
Enjoy and happy holidays!!
You have an EBS instance running in US east region. But you want to migrate this instance to an AMI in EU, for disaster recovery, testing, whatever. And you say want to do this simply and without major contortions, preferably via a GUI. We hear you :-) Ylastic now has the ability to migrate an EBS linux instance to an AMI in a region of your choice. Pick a few options, and click a button.
And receive an email when the migration is complete :-)
Enjoy :-)

Ylastic now supports migration of EBS backed Windows 2008 server AMIs between EC2 regions. Select the AMI you want to migrate and pick the right kind of Windows. That's all you need to do :-)
Go get a cup of coffee and browse the interwebs (windows migrations typically take twice as long as the svelte linux ones). Once the migration is complete, you will get an email. Or you can check its status on the migrations page if you like.
Launch the newly migrated AMI, and remote desktop into it.
Windows migration without the migraine :-)

Ylastic can now migrate your XFS based images and snapshots between regions. To demo this migration, we used the wonderful new git server AMIs from Eric Hammond and Alestic.
You get an email once the migration is complete. You can check the migrations page too for the current status. Launch the new AMI, and a few minutes later, here's the console output.
Migration with a single click :-)

Ubuntu is a very picky about the kernels used in EC2, especially starting with Lucid Lynx. This makes migration between regions a bit painful as you need to know the right kernel to use (32 or 64 bit) when you migrate an AMI between different regions. In Ylastic, we have a simple gui based migration, but you had to pick a kernel in the target region for any recent ubuntu based AMI in order to launch the migration. Not any more :-) We now automatically pick a kernel that will work for your migrated AMI in the target region.
You just need to make sure you pick the right flavor of Ubuntu :-)

The popularity of EC2 has resulted in an explosion in the number of public images or AMIs available for your launching/customizing pleasure. You may or may not want to create a private AMI from every interesting one that you come across. But you do need to be able to find it agan whenever you want without rummaging through all of the public images again and again. Happens to us a lot, so we scratched our own itch, and just added the ability to tag public AMIs to Ylastic.
You search for an AMI once, and then tag it as a favorite and give it a description if you like. It will be in your Favorite Images list till you untag it.

Select the AMI that you want to copy, click an icon and provide some info. Thats it! Now go get some coffee or check your twitter feed :-)
Ylastic will create all the required machinery and migrate your AMI. Once the new AMI is ready, you will receive an email notification.
Yep. As simple as that.
Manage your cloud, the easy way!
