Bug Description

EC2 recently added support for the new eu-west-1 region, located in Europe.
Currently the official Ubuntu AMI's are only available in the old us-east-1 region. The same applies to the AKI and ARI images.
Please upload images to eu-west-1

To copy an AMI from US to EU only requires creating an S3 bucket in EU and running a couple commands like:

ec2-migrate-bundle \
  --retry \
  -c $EC2_CERT \
  -k $EC2_PRIVATE_KEY \
  -a $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID \
  -s $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY \
  --bucket $from_bucket \
  --destination-bucket $to_bucket \
  --manifest $manifest \
  --ec2cert $EC2_CERT \
  --location EU \
  --region eu-west-1 \
  --kernel $new_aki \
  --ramdisk $new_ari

ec2-register \
  --region eu-west-1 \
  $to_bucket/$manifest

Canonical will also have to copy the AKIs and ARIs to EU. I am not familiar with this process but have hopes it should be nearly as simple.

Once this is done the beta documentation will need to be updated to list the AMI ids with their respective regions.

I suppose it might also be necessary to give the folks in the beta program access to the new images and modify the process so that new folks entering beta also get access.
