Canonical has announced that the official Ubuntu Cloud Guest Images are now listed on the Amazon EC2 quick start, which means that users can now launch official Ubuntu Cloud Guest Images right from the Amazon EC2 management console.

This new facility will simplify access to Ubuntu on AWS ( Amazon Web Services) and will provide more options and support for users so they can build and maintain applications on a guest operating system.

With the help of another service, Ubuntu Advantage, users will get the assurance that what are they getting in return is certified, up-to-date images, legal assurance and system management capabilities.

Ubuntu Advantage provides support to deploy, manage and monitor a production environment while offering significant operational and cost savings, also including the Landscape systems management tool for managing cloud and on-premise based Ubuntu servers from a single console.
