+ <p>This report covers work since the last &os;/EC2 status report
+ (2015Q1).</p>
+
+ <p>&os;/EC2 is now part of the regular &os; release build,
+ with snapshots and releases being automatically uploaded and
+ copied to all available regions. Due to legal restrictions
+ this does not currently include the GovCloud or China
+ (Beijing) regions; anyone wishing to use &os; in those regions
+ is encouraged to contact the author.</p>
+
+ <p>The AWS Marketplace reports that approximately 800 users
+ are running roughly 2000 &os; EC2 instances. This does not
+ count the likely significantly larger number of EC2 instances
+ launched "directly" through the EC2 API and Console, but at
+ least places a lower bound on usage.</p>
+
+ <p>&os; 11.0-RELEASE shipped with support for the "enhanced
+ networking" support in EC2 C3, C4, R3, I2, D2, and M4
+ (excluding m4.16xlarge) instances; this provides significantly
+ higher network performance than the virtual networking
+ available on older EC2 instances and with older versions of
+ &os;.</p>
+
+ <p>&os; 11.0-RELEASE and later also use indirect segment disk
+ I/Os, which yield ~20% higher throughput with equal or lower
+ latency, and support the 128-vCPU x1.32xlarge instance
+ type.</p>
+
+ <p> &os; now supports the Amazon Simple Systems Manager service
+ ("run command").</p>

+ <task>Complete a pending reorganization of the accounts used for &os;/EC2

+
+ <task>Support "second generation enhanced networking" via
+ the new Elastic Network Adapter found in P2, R4, X1, and
+ m4.16xlarge instances.</task>
+
+ <task>Provide tools for improved functionality via the Simple
+ Systems Manager service: Listing installed packages, checking
+ for updates, adding/removing users, [your favourite sysadmin
+ task goes here].</task>

+ <task>Add support for EC2's IPv6 networking to the default &os;/EC2
+ configuration.</task>

+ <task>Continue ongoing interoperability testing between &os;'s
+ NFS client and Amazon Elastic File System
+ (NFS-as-a-service).</task>
