If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.

How to test?
Test Day EC2 Images
Fedora EC2 images for test day are publicly accessible, but not broadly advertised. To launch an instance, log into the AWS Management Console.
- Choose the EC2 tab.
- In the left pane, select the US-East-1 region.
- In the main window, select launch instance.
- Click on the "Community AMIs" tab.
- Enter one of the ami IDs below into the text box and follow the prompts to launch the image:
| Region | Architecture | Root store | AMI ID |
|---|---|---|---|
| us-east-1 | i386 | EBS-backed | ami-2f69a446 |
| us-east-1 | x86_64 | EBS-backed | ami-d96ea3b0 |
| us-west-1 | i386 | EBS-backed | ami-6d4d1128 |
| us-west-1 | x86_64 | EBS-backed | ami-7f5a063a |
| eu-west-1 | i386 | EBS-backed | ami-c4fbc9b0 |
| eu-west-1 | x86_64 | EBS-backed | ami-d6fbc9a2 |
| ap-southeast-1 | i386 | EBS-backed | ami-c01b6192 |
| ap-southeast-1 | x86_64 | EBS-backed | ami-201b6172 |
| ap-northeast-1 | i386 | EBS-backed | ami-e6bb0fe7 |
| ap-northeast-1 | x86_64 | EBS-backed | ami-32bb0f33 |
Testing the Images
- Launch one of the mentioned AMIs on EC2.
- Log in as 'ec2-user' using the ssh key you specified on launch
- 'sudo yum update' (this should work without requiring a root password)
- Is selinux enabled and functional?
- Use yum to install a workload that you are familiar with, are there any problems installing standard F16 packages?
