Excellent Base Build
If you are looking for a minimal build and can add what you need this is a great starting point.
Great stable image
The root partition doesn't resize to full size if you chose a different partition size than 8 GB while you create a new instance. Not sure it is Amazon or image issue. It can be resized after the instance is launched.
No other issues, the image is good.
Thank you.
Work as expected
Work as expected. We use CentOS/RHEL environment and using CentOS 6.5 image was easy and integrated without any issues with our existing puppet infrastructure.
Simple to start
That's a very good image for start fast and use the CentOS. What you need is already present, just keep in mind that a FW too is present!
test
test Reviews must contain at least 20 words about the product IT'S GOOG... I LIKE it very much.
what user and password I access?
Have installed the (AMI) hand but I'm able to access the image with which username and password do I access?
Great stable AMI for cPanel Usage
I have 2 cPanel DNS Only Servers that was built using the CentOS 6.5 (x86_64) - Release Media AMI as the base image.
The install and setup of cPanel DNS Only Server went smooth and fast using the CentOS 6.5 (x86_64) - Release Media AMI as the base image.
I would have gave 5 stars if the CentOS 6.5 (x86_64) - Release Media AMI as the base image was more focused to the cPanel server settings.
These items below need to be changed to be function better for security reasons in cPanel.
Server Check
Check for dhclient - dhclient appears to be running which suggests that the server is obtaining an IP address via DHCP. This can pose a security risk. You should configure static IP addresses for all Ethernet controllers.
Check for swap file -The server appears to have no swap file. This is usually considered a stability and performance risk. You should either add a swap partition, or create one via a normal file on an existing partition.
Other than that it is good.
Thank you.
Excellent Centos 6.5 image
Only one issue that drops to four stars. If you are using for running a website, you need to add the following to iptables:
-I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
Up and running in minutes
A great starting point for those wanting a CentOS server.
Adding additional EBS volumes was easy, the only thing I wasn't familiar with was the default Amazon side firewall policy that by default only allows port 22, I was able to figure this out in a couple of minutes.
