Been awhile since I’ve looked at this…

  1. You might want to search the OBS to see if anyone has already built a ready to use image.
  2. You can use Kiwi to customize a provided base AWS, JeOS or Xen image, create your AMI locally then upload.
  3. I don’t know if it would work, deploying the official LEAP image and doing a standard online upgrade to TW (change repos to TW, then do a “zypper dup”)

Keep in mind that Tumbleweed would be expensive to run in a cloud platform because of its frequent and enormous upgrades, your bandwidth costs can be considerable supporting just maintenance.

Is there a specific reason why you need to run Tumbleweed?

I understand this. I’m wont install only minimum server packeges without Xorg and other unnecessary packages, and update manualy.

Me need the freshest sofware (openssl, openssh, nginx, postgresql, php, postfix, dovecot etc)
