> As Maish pointed out you can look at sparsifying the image, but depending
on what you've installed (desktop etc) you may actually be using 5G of
space.  The cloud images IMO are awesome in terms of giving you a fully
functional base system with zero bloat in them.  Honestly I messed with
building/importing images for a while and finally just decided to start
with the base cloud images and build what I needed on them, then save them
off as images.  It was way more efficient for me, but I realize that
doesn't always work for everyone.
