# Pre-reqs:
# - Create service role 'vimport':
#   http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/VMImportPrerequisites.html#vmimport-service-role
# - Create policy 'vmimport' with the desired S3 bucket: 
#   http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/VMImportPrerequisites.html#vmimport-iam-permissions
# - Create IAM user, attach policy 'vmimport'
# - IAM user needs a new inline policy with "ec2:CopyImage", "ec2:DeleteSnapshot",
#   "ec2:DeregisterImage", and "ec2:DescribeImages" via the following JSON:
#   {"Version":"2012-10-17","Statement":[{"Effect":"Allow","Action":["ec2:CopyImage","ec2:DeleteSnapshot","ec2:DeregisterImage","ec2:DescribeImages"],"Resource":"*"}]}
# - Create S3 bucket referenced in IAM policies
# - Create API keys for use with `aws` commands below
# - Grab CentOS URL and file name from http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/images/
#   and enter below
# - Change any other variables as desired below

@cryptickp you're welcome! Let me know if you use it in production. Without seeing the C7 kickstart and/or the process they use for uploading to AWS, I'm still a little hesitant to use this for non-testing workloads.

@alanthing an update here and dockerized...

https://github.com/UnivaCorporation/centos-cloud-importer

You can then run this in AWS ECS, Batch, or just on a docker host in AWS with the proper instance profile.
