    After some fiddling, I found some gotchas. Most importantly, SSH keys, security groups, and AMIs are not replicated between regions. You can use the ec2-migrate-bundle command (from the AMI tools) to copy your images from the US to Europe.

        ec2-migrate-bundle --location EU --cert /mnt/cert-*.pem --privatekey /mnt/pk-*.pem \
    --access-key ORANGEJUICE --secret-key SUp0rS3kRu7 \
    --bucket BUCKET-IN-US --destination-bucket BUCKET-IN-EU \ 
    --manifest IMAGE.manifest.xml
    I put together the rest in another post: http://blog.solutious.com/post/64129126/using-amazon-ec2-in-...

    The Europe zone is still not in the output from ec2-describe-availability-zones so it's not available quite yet.
