ec2 ami - Download an Amazon EC2 AMI? - Stack Overflow
I would like to download a public Amazon EC2 AMI, such as this one (Ubuntu Lucid), so that I can programmatically extract its contents.. How do I do this? I suspect there is an S3 address somewhere? This blog post looks like it once described this process, but the link seems to no longer work.. So far I can only find explanations of how to move around EC2 instance within AWS.
