CentOS 6 (x86_64) - with Updates
CentOS.org | 6 - 2014-09-29Linux/Unix, CentOS 6 - 64-bit Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Lack of Instance type support
This AMI works well but it does not support the new generation c3 type instances. We would like c3 type support added to this AMI.

Works well but.....
does not support the new style C3 instance type. Would be more useful if it did. It otherwise runs very well.
Great choice for everyone
Hello, the product I have chosen to develop my sites and maybe something more in the future is I think enough for everyone to start developing portals or even host something advanced because its easy to use, it is very well documented and used for hosting
OK for disposable instances
The root device, /dev/sda, created when an instance is launched from this ami cannot be mounted as a secondary device. That is fine until a kernel update fails. If the instance cannot restart you cannot attach the volume as a secondary to another instance in order to fix it.
Fortunately the aws marketplace support group can "unlock" the volume, thus enabling attachment to another running instance as a secondary. This can take some time.
With the availability of pv-grub and xen friendly kernels, it is worth the effort to setup your own CentOS minimal install ami.
Lack of support instance type
I am looking for c3.xlarge instance but when choose CentOS AMI, it does not support c3 family instance type but other AMIs do support.
Please support c3 family insantce type. Thanks
Some linux/rhce ability required
I very much enjoy the familiar environment, thoughtfully constructed, no unpleasant surprises.
Full security is enabled by default. To connect anything useful you will need to open up ports on the firewall (ie iptables skill), also consider what level of selinux you require. Acl skills probably a good idea also.
New AWS users you can use tcpdump to confirm packets are getting through your corporate firewall and arriving on the instance, before the firewall has a chance to filter them out.
does what it says on the tin.
i had to install twice, because the first time i installed it i messed up my iredmail installation.
the distinction between the other releases and this one (with updates). once again i installed the wrong one the first time around.
but thanks for it. much appreciated.
Works as always
Just started to move from rack servers to Amazon and am surprised how easy and simple it is. CentOS runs as good as it always has. After a few more final tests all my servers will be migrated to Amazon.
Perfect minimal CentOS VM
A reliable CentOS VM has been missing from the AWS ecosystem for a long time. This AMI fills the gap. It's minimal, clean, and text-book vanilla. Absolutely perfect for my needs.
Stable and free
CentOS is a stable and free solution for enterprise use. It has not the latest software versions, but there are many good third-party repositories. After 8 years of experience with CentOS is still my first choice.
