A few years ago, before [Ubuntu Minimal](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Minimal)

existed, I was playing around with creating small Ubuntu AMIs from scratch.

Someone on Reddit asked about doing something similar, so I am publishing my notes and

scripts.

The approach I used was to create an install in an EBS volume using

`debootstrap` (via [mkosi](https://github.com/systemd/mkosi)), then taking a

snapshot of the volume and turning it into an AMI. It did work, but these days

I would just use Ubuntu Minimal.

A much more complete working example of using the Buildroot embedded Linux distribution

to create AMIs is here: https://github.com/cogini/buildroot_ec2
