Overview
Ruby packaged by Bitnami provides a complete development environment for Ruby on Rails. It includes the latest stable release of Ruby, Rails, rbenv, Apache, NGINX, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Memcached, Redis, Git, Node.js, PHP, Python and phpMyAdmin, as well as popular gems like Rake and Passenger.
Using a pre-configured Ruby on Rails environment gets you up and running quickly because everything works out of the box.

Bitnami has done this work for you, so you can focus on writing awesome code instead of installing and configuring multiple components and libraries.

Why use Bitnami Certified Apps?
Bitnami certified images are always up-to-date, secure, and built to work right out of the box.
Bitnami packages applications following industry standards, and continuously monitors all components and libraries for vulnerabilities and application updates. When any security threat or update is identified, Bitnami automatically repackages the applications and pushes the latest versions to the cloud marketplaces.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance.

Best Rails Image
This image has very concise instructions on how to spin up rails and proxy it with Apache.
The other images did a very poor job of explaining how to do this. This image saved me a lot of time.
Great stuff
I fired this up via a Windows PC to avoid the chronically slow Windows/Ruby experience. Just make sure to use the username 'bitnami', not 'ubuntu', as mentioned.
Key Pair Issue
The difference between these AMIs and stock Ubuntu is that the login name isn't Ubuntu for the initial ssh tunnel, it's bitnami. The documentation should be more plain, but I believe the previous reviewers did not realize this.
key-pair not working
I agree with the other reviewer. The key-pair doesn't work and SSH just times out. It's pretty much useless.
Looks good but can't authenticate
It seems there's an issue with how this AMI is set up because the key-pair I've used to SSH into other AMIs is rejected here. Might be a great product, but without SSH access, I can't do much.
