Following the instructions at http://aws.amazon.com/articles/1663?_encoding=UTF8&jiveRedirect=1 I created an instance with mysql’s dbs running on an EBS volume.
I’ve been installing other software on the instance’s filesystem (not the EBS volume) and would like to be able to save the whole it as an AMI.
In Elasticfox, both AMI commands were greyed out.
Is it not possible to do this?
I am not so familiar with ElasticFOX, but in general you cannot create an AMI of an EC2 instance created from instance-store explicitly. You need a series of ec2-ami-tools to create one. I have wrote a script which I used to create an AMI. Feel free to use.
Copy the following script:

-make sure, you update the following before use
Give permission to the file.
It should create an AMI image under your account and register it with the name you have given.
