Great platform
Like many others, I found the AWS pricing model a little daunting at first. Once familiar with it, it makes pretty good sense. AWS itself is incredibly easy to use. Ported several servers from a co-lo facility to AWS in a matter of hours and reduced costs by 4/5ths. A week later the servers are humming along nicely. Thanks for a great platform!

Solid OS for a fast start
If you are used to RHEL, Fedora or CentOS then this image will get you going quickly. The iptables firewall allow only port 22 by default so you will need to add additional ports for your services.
Nice Base Image
I like the way the CentOS 6.5 Image has been created to be a minimal install with only what is necessary. This way, it is a great choice for doing a scratch install of any stack or platform on it.
Very raw image
This is not an EC2-standard build like the OS choices in the new instance window. For example, the default account is 'root' instead of a sudo-enabled ec2-user account, and the / partition doesn't size itself to the EBS root volume size (use resize2fs to fix).
You may be better off using the better supported Amazon Linux, which is almost interchangeable with CentOS.
a good team
