For those of you testing ovirt. Is it possible to configure all of it using amazon ec2? And if possible, is there any public AMI preconfigured at amazon nowadays that one could use to get up and running easily. I'm unsure about the need of having a physical machine to try ovirt out. (or use amazon ec2/linode)

If there is interest I guess I could probably do it again, but without hosts somewhere to actually run VMs it's a very limited look at the engine. Especially with the new 'all in one' mode meaning with even just one host with virt extensions you can get some VMs up and running.
