This is the Official CentOS 6.5 x86_64 image that has been built with a minimal profile. The image contains just enough packages to run within AWS, bring up an SSH Server and allow users to login. Please note that this image is built against the release time package set for 6.5 ( this includes only the packages that were shipped on the DVD) and does not include any of the security updates released since then. IMPORTANT: This image is setup to allow ssh key based login as the root user, Amazon recommends setting up a non root user for regular instance access.
