Debian Jessie on AWS EC2

Testing Images (pre release)

Jessie is not yet released (as at 22/Oct/14). All images are temporary and may be removed without warning; please do not reference these AMIs in your CloudFormation templates or AutoScale groups (instead, clone them into your account).

SSH username

Connect to Debian instances as the user admin using your nominated SSH key, and then sudo -i to gain root access. Remote root and password-based SSH is disabled.

New in Debian Jessie EC2 Images

The Jessie release of Debian was built with bootstrap-vz (formerly called build-debian-cloud), and contains the CloudInit package installed from Debian backports.

Please note that a Marketplace image volume cannot be attached to another running instance (For example, to repair a broken /etc/fstab, or /etc/network/interfaces). This is a limitation of all Marketplace images, as described here: Official AWS documentation

Fun with cloud-init

You may wish to play with cloud-init, for example: 

   1 #cloud-config
   2 package_update: true
   3 package_upgrade: true
   4 package_reboot_if_required: true
   5 packages:
   6 - pwgen
   7 - less
   8 locale: fr_FR.UTF-8
   9 ssh_authorized_keys:
  10 - ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nz....89dGp5 me@mykey1
  11 - ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nz....89dGp5 me@mykey2
  12 final_message: "The system is finally up, after $UPTIME seconds"
