Good stable system working out of the box
It is Centos. It works and it is free. Repos are continuously updated by one of the biggest Linux communities. Memory footprint of a bare new machine created from this Centos7 64bit image is more than two times bigger compared to a bare new machine created from Amazon Linux 64bit image. It is 180MB versus 80MB.

You cannot install cPanel & WHM on a CentOS 7 server.( up to date)
( In general very smooth basic centos installation )
t2.micro with CentOS7
I use this instance in Tokyo node. It provides appreciative network speed as I am locating at China.
It's enough to use as a development server.
Nice overall
This AMI works very well and I was able to smoothly install CPanel on it
The only issue was that I had to expand the volume, and I couldn't make the filesystem to grow simply using resize2fs
I had to follow instructions here: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=539484
Other than that, system is running smoothly.
