Spinning up ECS instances is supported in all ECS regions (unlike Function Compute), but turns out to be unacceptably unreliable since Alibaba Cloud has a very irritating tendency to fail to launch ECS instances for a variety of spurious and unpredictable reasons. Rewrite the censorship bypass mechanism to use the (extremely slow) CopyImage API call to copy an imported image from an uncensored region to a censored region.

iPXE network bootloader
iPXE is the leading open source network boot firmware. It provides a full PXE implementation enhanced with additional features such as:
-
boot from a web server via HTTP or HTTPS,
-
boot from an iSCSI, FCoE, or AoE SAN,
-
control the boot process with a script,
You can use iPXE to replace the existing PXE ROM on your network card, or you can chainload into iPXE to obtain the features of iPXE without the hassle of reflashing.
iPXE is free, open-source software licensed under the GNU GPL (with some portions under GPL-compatible licences).
You can download the rolling release binaries (built from the latest commit), or use the most recent stable release.
