CentOS 6 (x86_64) - with Updates HVM
CentOS.org | 2002_01Linux/Unix, CentOS 6 - 64-bit Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Works Perfectly1
To you goofballs who are complaining about the root partition size: "You can create it with a 100G partition if you want, but 1-click launch won't work. You may actually have to click 2-3 times! Click manual launch and then add storage and then click launch - it may take you a whole 5 seconds longer."

Always the one I use, but why no t2.nano support?
I actively use this build for my own needs as well as those of my clients. The 8GB partition is not a problem since in most cases that is plenty for a web/app server. In the few cases where more space is needed its trivial to add an EBS volume for that. I've never had a problem logging in as the instructions explain.
My only complaint at this point is why can I not build a t2.nano instance? If I select the CentOS 7 AMI from the same it is available. CentOS 7 being based on SystemD isn't even an option. I guess the time has come to start standardizing on FreeBSD instead.
ssh using private key still prompts for password
Recently I've been using ami-bc8131d4 for lab purposes.
After I've built a custom image with Packer using above ami as a source and then created an instance using Terraform I couldn't connect as root with associated key pair. I've been asked for password.
I got it working by injecting 'PasswordAuthentication no' to sshd_config and public key to authorized_keys while building my image.
Anybody had an issue like that and knows the reason of this behaviour?
login fails for root on the latest version
root login seems to be disbled on 2015-09-28 version.
however root login works on 2014-09-28 version.
Hopefully CentOS team take a note of this
by the moment work as well
Is certain that the max default volume is 8GB, but applying the second short guide of NCBI - SRA was solved.
Thanks
Root volume resizing works just fine
When launching a new instance I (hopefully) set my root volume to 80GB. Using cfdisk to adjust partition sizes (keep the offset the same), and resize2fs to grow the filesystem worked just as I expected it to.
Removed one start because this and the selinux default settings are just annoying.
Can't mount root device on another instance
Sometimes I need to extend the root partition, so I try mount root device on another instance, but it fails. I hope to improve this part in the future.
