CloudLinux with cPanel 11.50.0.29 (PV)
Cloud Linux | 6.8Linux/Unix, CentOS 2016.09.29 - 64-bit Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Worked Perfectly for Me ( read for tips)
I'm a season AWS & cPanel user so maybe that made a difference. You need to have a FQDN (host.yoursite.com), log in ssh to set the hostname and password. Once that is done go to http://host.yoursite.com:2087, enter root as the username and then the password you set via ssh to start setting everything up. Once setup is complete you will get a no license error, there is a license refresh command on the page, login to ssh enter that code let it refresh and then log back in to WHM. ALL FRICKIN GOOD!

amazing enterprise cloud linux with cpanel
the integration of this 2 product give every single user an absolutely amazing experience. the speed and the functionality of cloud linux and the user friendliness of cpanel included with softacolous or fantastico auto installer give a feel of trusted and well working on the net.
The best for hosting provider
I tried Cloudlinux with cpanel and the product is excelent, very stable and easy to use, configuration is intuitive and easy, is a powerfull tool for create a web hosting provider instance.
Great, but here are some tips to getting it working
Warning: This is an image for cPanel DEDICATED servers. In other words it's ~$425 per year not $150 like the VPS licenses. I'm not sure that a VPS licence would work because they appear to be designed for Xen and other hypervisors (not AWS). But hey, prove me wrong and save some money!
NAT: Setup a VPC because you will likely want more than one IP and it will be a mission to rectify this after the fact. When installing just let it detect the NATted IP's and fix it later.
And by fix it, I mean upgrade to at least 11.39 because it then has NAT functionality without having to do a bunch of weird hackery in the background. When you run the build_cpnat script (or do it through the actual cPanel interface) it will bind local IP's to external IP's
Addendum: due to the marketplace image protection mechanism, it is impossible to mount your cPanel image as a secondary volume to another instance for the purpose of data recovery or simply chnaging a conf file!! My strong suggestion is to only make a 10-15gb ami in the first place and mount a second bigger volume as your /home directory. In the event of a server crash, you can restore from a snapshot of the sda1 device and just remount the secondary. Also, be sure to use an init script rather than fstab to mount the secondary drive. If, forwhatever, reason the volume is unmountable/damaged and it is configured to mount via fstab, then the whole instance will fail to boot. Use an init script!
