This uses a new Ansible module, ec2_snapshot_import, which is included
here until it is available from upstream.
It will upload the AMI to s3, convert it to a snapshot, and then
register the snapshot as an AMI. The s3 object is deleted when it has
been successfully uploaded.
Currently, Azure, vSphere, and OpenStack are supported. See
https://github.com/weldr/lorax/pull/826 for more details about this new
feature.
I've called the upload library "lifted" as a reference to Seuss'
The Lorax -- in the book, the Lorax lifts himself up by the seat of his
pants through a hole in the smog clouds, and they start calling him the
"Lifted Lorax."
This adds new features to the /compose route under API v1
