Hi all,

I have a cloud setup and have created an image of a particular software stack for my requirements. I was hoping someone could advise me on the 'best' solution to enable my users to create unique instances from my image (either EBS backed or with some sort of 'save and update' script). The users should be able to enter a name/ID number so I can see from the instances description who has booted which instances.

My initial thoughts on this would be to write a bash script or similar that prompts the user for the name/number and then passes this information to the correct command, however I am open to any other methods that would achieve similar results.

I will note that I am rather new to all this and not a terrific script writer, but I am ready to learn.

Many thanks,

Stuie
