I think it's kind of easy to create one VM. The issue is that we need
an easy way to create them everytime there is a new version.
Best would be a solution to create them using maven. We should check
if there is any progress in this area.
I see. But this approach doesn't help users for the migration of their
existing instances - right ?
And you are moving huge data (AMIs) around 10+GB i guess. So why not go
with a single image that may be old and have the same update
instructions / procedure for new and existing instances ?

Hi Johannes, everyone,
actually this is sort of repsonse to Johannes @jstoldt contribution here
http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Back-to-the-future-of-XWiki-tt6084764.html
regarding VM's and it is off-topic in either dev and user.
Johannes, why not drill deeper into this VM stuff ?
If you have spare time leftover and want to contribute -
why not be the first one to create an Amazon EC2 xwiki image ?
For newbies there are free Amazon EC2 accounts:
http://aws.amazon.com/de/free/
When creating a VM I'd check for an Ubuntu Ready-to-go image - there are
several hanging around.
Check the Ubuntu website for a recommendation.
Of course Linux background is beneficial - might be mandatory.
However with Ubuntu many installations are pretty straight forward and
well documented -
installation of database (postgres ?) - webserver (tomcat ?) and an
XWiki .war should be straightforward.
When you're are done and all is running fine you can make a template of
it for others to use.
I'd be interested in a report.
I'd love to do it but I'm lacking time now ...
As here is no real forum for this we might continue correspondence in
another place.
WDYT ?
Andreas
