Need Ubuntu AMI of 10GB in size for Amazon AWS Free Usage Tier in Region "EU West"

Question

I've created an account on Amazon AWS because of their Free Usage Tier promotion. It allows for a "t1.micro" instance, free of charge for 1 year.

Unfortunately the "official" Ubuntu EBS images are 15 GB in size, and only 10 GB are free. And I know the monthly cost for the extra storage would be something like ~ 0.55 USD, but I was hoping for a free launch before investing in AWS, and I would rather spend that dollar on S3 :-)

So ... any Ubuntu EBS AMIs for t1.micro instances that are available in eu-west ?

@Alexandru: sorry, didn't mean to be rude or anything. My first thought, when posting my comment, was: Perhaps this question would be better of on Serverfault. — , Nov 02 '10 at 06:44

These require some work to get to vanilla Ubuntu though, like dropping the bitnami user, removing their app stack from /opt and reverting other customizations sprinkled through configuration files... – Pēteris Caune Dec 29 '10 at 12:32

For anyone who finds this via Google, try the official Ubuntu AMIs that work: http://cloud.ubuntu.com/2010/11/using-ubuntu-images-on-aws-free-tier/
