Unfortunately still the same issue. When I upload the snapshot using coldsnap instead of import-snapshot the resulting AMI refuses to boot.

Coldsnap seems to corrupt the image and throw away half the data.

The NixOS image is 1.8 gigabyte raw. But it's a sparse image. The resulting snapshot should be 4GB. Not 2GB

Maybe coldsnap needs to have a .raw image instead of a .vhd?

Yes, coldsnap wants a raw image.

Upload times are very.. unstable. I've seen them complete under 1 minute (good) but usually take 5 minutes.

I now have an upload that is stuck for 21 minutes and counting.

Unfortunately coldsnap doesn't really log anything at all.
Not sure if:

• Hitting AWS rate limits
• Github is throttling me
• something else

Creating an instance on AWS and doing the upload from there now for comparison

Uploading the same image takes 10 seconds on a t4g.small instance on AWS.

My running theory is Github Actions throttling bandwidth for anything but s3.amazonaws.com
