Is there a particular reason why there are not any instance
store-backed AMIs for Fedora? I noticed that starting with Fedora 16,
there are only EBS-backed EC2 images listed at:

I know I could create my own, but at this stage of our project I would
much rather use a ready-to-go image. I like the instance store-backed
AMIs because we have been relying on the extra storage provided (>100
GB), deploying multiple machines to provide redundancy.
Provided you aren't using t1.micro instances, you can still use instance
storage from an EBS instance. You just have to ask for it by supplying an
appropriate block device mapping (with -b if you are using
euca-run-instances) when you run the instances.
