Dear Maintainer,

we're providing customized Debian and Ubuntu development servers to our
software developers. While the Ubuntu AMIs ship with the Amazon EC2
hibernation agent and are thus able to be hibernated via the AWS
console, the Debian AMIs lack that functionality.

So the request is to also ship the agent preinstalled in the Debian AMIs. See
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ec2-hibinit-agent&searchon=names
for Ubuntu (source) packages or https://github.com/aws/amazon-ec2-hibinit-agent
for latest sources.

I've already verified that it works on Debian with a local rebuild of
the latest Ubuntu source deb.

Thanks in advance...

        Dirk

Control: reassign -1 wnpp.debian.org
Control: retitle -1 RFP: amazon-ec2-hibinit-agent -- Amazon EC2 instance hibernation support

Hi Dirk.  Since we don't have this in the archive yet, I've refiled this
as an RFP.  Once it's packaged, we can add it to the AMIs.

I've also verified in the past that it works on newer instance types,
though I believe hibernation of the older generation Xen based instance
types requires kernel patches that we don't have.  However, I think it's
fine to ignore those old instance types and focus on making things work
with modern ones.

Well, *now* I've refiled it as an RFP, now that I can correctly spell
"wnpp" :)

This is not really an agent.  This is a little script to setup swap.
This needs to be into cloud-init and not a separate tool.
