My only concern is are you the correct person, I have no clue who is on the Amazon security team for their Linux distribution, I've never seen you post anything anywhere. Your search - site:aws.amazon.com Anthony Liguori - did not match any documents. Your search - site:aws.amazon.com aliguori () amazon com - did not match any documents. Can we somehow get confirmation from Amazon that this is the right person to have on distros? Thanks.Yes, we need this sort of confirmation. My other concerns are:Matt commented earlier. Max will also confirm. Is that sufficient? Between the three of us, there should be enough public evidence and enough people already on the list who have worked with one of us in the past.
I worked closely with Anthony when we were both employed by IBM. I know him very well in a work setting and also quite well outside of work. I've spoken with him, face-to-face over dinner at LinuxCon/Plumbers 2013 [1], about his decision to leave IBM [2] and take a position at Amazon. I knew it involved EC2 but he could not divulge details at the time. I have absolutely no concerns about Anthony's request being devious in nature, especially considering that two other Amazon employees are saying that he's the right contact for the company. I also think his knowledge of the Linux virtualization stack would be a great addition to the list. I'll leave the discussion about if/when Amazon should gain access to the distros lists to others, but I do vouch for Anthony.
