Debian GNU/Linux 8 (Jessie; PVM for previous generation instance types)
Debian | 8.1Linux/Unix, Debian 8.1 - 64-bit Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Great and Stable AMI
Exactly what you could expect from Debian. For those who have issues with logging in, please make sure you're using the 'admin' user as opposed to the 'root' user.

First choice for webservers
I’ve been using Debian for several years now and I’m completely satisfied. Stability, security and support are great. All software I want to use is available through aptitude or can be installed without any problems.
Debian rocks !! (Y) :)
This instance is amazing !! ... I recommend it very much. Ah !! ... and by the way, IMPORTANT: the user you must use to connect is admin, not the regular ec2-user as with other instances ... I've read several comments about connection errors, just use admin instead of ec2-user and you will be fine and please, RTFM when you have an error !! ;) :)
Excelent AMI
Excelent AMI by Debian.
Those giving it a low rating because of SSH connection issues should read the Debian docs.
“ In line with the security of most Linux distributions on Amazon Web Services, remote root SSH is disabled (as is password authentication). You will need to connect to instances from this AMI as the user admin using your SSH key, and then sudo -i to gain root access. ”
https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/AmazonEC2Image/Wheezy
The machine comes with the root SSH account disabled. Use the admin account.
ssh -i keypair.pem admin@5#.2##.1##.##
Instead of
ssh -i keypair.pem root@5#.2##.1##.##
Does what it says on the tin
The debian gnu/linux machine image is exactly what you'd expect. When used you get a lovely working copy of debian running and ready to use. What more could you want?
Best Server Os
Very stable, light weight and easy to manage.
Works perfectly as a general server OS with its easy to use apt-get package manager for installing other software.
With its stability I can focus on my application development without worrying about server issues.
I would recommend this to anyone anytime.
Thanks Debian team for this image.

Fantastic rock-solid operating system
Best OS for serving web applications is Free Software and it's free on Amazon too. Debian GNU/Linux operating system gives Activore.com the stability and performance we need at the base of our software stack.
A great Linux distribution
I was very pleased to see that the Debian team has created official AMI images that i can trust.
I haven't worked with the images yet (currently installing ;) , but Debian has been my distro of choice for years, combining stability and ease of use. It is specially good for servers, but I also run it as my everyday desktop. Apart from the "Iceweasel" peculiarity, no problems at all!
Excellent operating system
I've been looking to upgrade to Wheezy my servers. Here it was on the aws market place.
Excellent job Debian team.
