This is something I'm definitely interested in working on, because it's a royal pain to keep things up to date without an interruption of service which causes all kinds of problems.
A version of this functionality has been added for the FreeBSD AMIs and we should consider extending it for Linux. See commit 2263ee93dfd670f06e416430cdb6dbfe498d3e97 for details.
@behlendorf I've been working off and on in wiring up buildbot to receive the latest AMI ID from Fedora infrastructure for Fedora images. I'm also trying to figure out a way to get that info for CentOS too.
One of the limitations of the buildbot infrastructure is that to keep current the
master.cfg
must be updated manually as new AMIs are published. The buildbot documentation described ami filters as the solution to this issue. We should investigating using them in ourmaster.cfg
, see:http://docs.buildbot.net/latest/manual/cfg-buildslaves-ec2.html
