I am currently looking at the steps on how to created and sell AMIs.

I can easily create the AMI, however I am unsure about the required architecture that is needed. The Amazon documentation states:

  • Source AMIs for AWS Marketplace MUST be provided in the us-east-1 region.

Does this mean the AMI needs to be created from an instance that is in the us-east-1 region? As currently all my instances are in eu-west-1.

The created AMI must be present in the us-east-1 region.

    Thank you for the links @Sathish, reading the information from them, I saw this note: **bold** `Once your AMI is submitted, AWS Marketplace will create cloned AMIs for each region that you have indicated that software should be available.` If I understand this correctly, basically you can create the AMI in any region but you need to make sure the AMI is cloned to us-east-1 region (plus any other regions you select). – user3585058 May 06 '14 at 07:28
