<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
(&quot;run command&quot;).</p>

<help>
<task>Complete a pending reorganization of the accounts used for &os;/EC2
releases.</task>
<task>Support &quot;second generation enhanced networking&quot; 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>
