Amazon EC2

• EBS backed instances limited to one ephemeral disk at start.  S3 (instance store) backed instances will vary the number of ephemeral drives attached at boot based on instance size. EBS backed images, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux based images, will only attach one ephemeral disk regardless of instance size.

CloudStack Xen

• Ubuntu 14.04: XenServer 6 will not boot Ubuntu 14.04 by default due to changes in the grub conf. Please apply the fix here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2216358&page=2&p=13006936#post13006936 (w-6283)
• Ubuntu 14.04: XenServer 6 does not support Ubuntu 14.04 so it boots as HVM which will not allow volume support (w-6298)
