Release engineering has built the latest F18 cloud image spin.
In region US East,
ami-6145cc08 for 64-bit and ami-0d44cd64 for 32-bit.
Please take a look at this and help validate them for final release next week.

Hello,
I've took a look at these AMIs and made a comparison with F17. Here is the difference:
Newly introduced packages: audit-libs-python, dbus-python, dmidecode, ebtables, gnutls, gobject-introspection, groff-base, iptables-services,json-c, kpartx, less, libcgroup, libdb4, libee, libestr, liblognorm, libmicrohttpd, libpipeline, libsemanage-python, libtasn1, man-db, nss-tools, openssl-libs, p11-kit, policycoreutils-python, procps-ng, pygobject3-base, pyliblzma, python-IPy, python-decorator, python-prettytable, python-slip, python-slip-dbus, qrencode-libs, rsync, setools-libs, systemd-libs, tar, tmpwatch
Missing packages: ModemManager, NetworkManager, NetworkManager-glib, acl, acpid, attr, authconfig, avahi-autoipd, checkpolicy, db4, dnsmasq, fedora-logos, libdaemon, libdrm, libgudev1, libnl3, libpcap, libpciaccess, libsss_sudo, libudev, linux-firmware, m4, mingetty, mobile-broadband-provider-info, netxen-firmware, newt, newt-python, openssl, pciutils, pciutils-libs, plymouth, plymouth-core-libs, plymouth-scripts, polkit, ppp, procps, setserial, slang, system-config-firewall-base, system-config-firewall-tui, udev, wpa_supplicant
I'm concerned a bit about the absence of some basic tools: acl, attr, openssl. Shouldn't we include them by default?
The second issue is "hwcap 1 nosegneg" in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc6-xen.conf (it's not present in RHEL6 images, for example), but as I see there was a consensus that it should stay for now.
Everything else looks fine for me.

I'm open to the discussion.
openssl is pulled in as a dependency if you install mod_ssl, which isn't there by default. In what other cases would it be useful to have it pre-installed?
Acl and attr are tiny, but it's my experience that people mostly manage cloud hosts as single-user systems. What's the use case for them, and how widespread is it?
Everything else looks fine for me.
Cool -- thanks for checking.

I consider openssl pretty basic, and use it regularly for generating keys and CSRs ... Sendmail happily uses the .key, .csr and .pem so generated. I see ntp, stunnel, nmap, git, alpine, wget, lynx, w3m, php-cli, fipscheck, and tcpdump all calling for it on an older unit (CLI stuff using crypto, basically)

Oh, no doubt, but none of that (with the exception of fipscheck) is installed.

How do I test ami-6145cc08 out on the Sydney Region (Asia-Pacific-2)?
Thanks,
Phil.

You don't. AMIs are region specific and, as has been stated, those AMI are available in the US East region (i.e. only). The effort to make them available in every region is too high just for testing, I guess. They are normally available in all regions once they are final and well tested, though.
