We should update the release process documenattion (cc @disassembler) to include an issue to the nixos-org-configurations repo, for generating new AMIs.
Would it be possible to upload AMIs periodically with up-to-date version of nixpkgs? That way we reduce the amount of copying with nix-copy-closure and keep the running systems robust, as newly started instances will already contain all important patches.
(And in case volunteers are needed for this, I’ll be more than happy to help)
Also, and this is only my opinion, that we should not include this infomation in nixpkgs, but rather have it as a release artifact for each channel update (example of artifacts for a successful evaluation → Channels for NixOS project(s)).
If this gets done please ping me to change the source of this information on the website.
/me adds yet another thing to the todo list and hopes somebody beats me to it
