I guess it works
It does work, but nothing is installed in the usual directories, it's slow, it's bloated. And it's very difficult to upgrade, for example, you can't upgrade PHP without creating an entire new installation.

Easy to setup and use
This was a piece of cake to get going. Created a cloudformation script to spin up the EC2 with this AMI and then installed Updraft to make daily backups to S3. When a new AMI is available, I simply modify the cloudformation script, create a new environment and restore the backup and I'm good to go.
We only use WordPress for "brochure-ware" so as long as it renders our site we are happy. Perhaps if we used WordPress for more significant use cases we would discover the limitations others seem to find with this but it works well for us.
Easy - Ive been using wordpress for 7 years!
No idea what peoples issues are. Easy to set up and easy to use. Perfect for inexperienced users. Was all up and running for FREE in 10 mins
As all people said, zero control
No control, no clear and updated documentation, painful to configure, need to check a lot of things... Better Docker + Wordpress, Plesk + multiple Wordpress sites or even LAMP with Wordpress
Terrible Not user Friendly at all
Terrible Not user Friendly at all, can not setup anything of make any use of this at all... Pointless to even download it
Easier to do it yourself than configure this
Wanting to use this as a quick way to spin up a varnish cached instance but this is defiantly not the solution.
Between outdated, incorrect or just non-existent documentation it's faster to just do it manually. Then you get the added benefit of knowing just what is going on with your stack.

File permission FTP wordpress plugins problem
You face file permission problem with wordpress and it's plugins. Some of them can't create folders and files. You can't change style (css).
I think bitnami should provide ftp in the image so that we can use it when installing / updating plugins.
Awesome
it's easy to launch wordpress in AWS , but after some time i can't get the wp-admin password in the SYSTEM LOG , even it's better and fantastic one for small business people.
Zero control of anything
I already have an EC2 instance I wanted to install this on but the setup process restricts installation to a new instance and no control over which directory or even type of server such as Ubuntu. This software is only for newbies with close to zero knowledge of the server side. You'll get what they give you.
