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.
Fastest CentOS Rollout
We needed to roll out a new hardened web server. This was the fastest install, setup and rollout (not to mention the most flexible) I have ever been able to do.
That's why I love AWS!

It work's just as expected
CentOS is running smoothly on my EC2. I totally recommend.
I works like expected and I can pretty do much every thing that I do on my local CentOS installation.
Great Minimal CentOS 7 AMI
CentOS is a great operating system. This AMI launches rapidly, and gives you a stable, minimalist CentOS 7 build from which to build whatever project you have in mind. I'll certainly use this for future projects.
64bit only is not a functional spec at this time
The new CentOS 7 is attempting to join Red Hat Enterprise in going strictly 64bit with no 32bit binary support. This has numerous issues with backward compatibility and with many current applications. For instance wine is not functional in such an environemtn because too much software is still 32bit
total solutions for web server is AWS
AWS this is the best services for my company.
Centos the best choice for a secure, fast, stable linux os.

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.
Amazing version
As always, CentOS is the best choice for a secure, fast, stable and lightweight distro for a server linux based.
Compliant with legacy unix rules and structure, but, in the same time, easy to administer.
IMHO… the best.
Upgrade need quite some learning curve
Upgrade between CentOS 6 to 7 is quite some different than 5 to 6 or even 4 to 5. CentOS 7 has some fundamental changes that require you to re-establish your admin routine.
Some of the big changes include but not limited to:
1. systemd replacing System V Init
2. MariaDB replacing MySQL
3. firewalld replacing iptables ip6tables
4. Kernel 3.1
5. XFS supported by default instead of ext4
6 Docker container support
Unless you have been following Fedora closely, you may have quite some learning curve before get use to admin CentOS 7.
Also, EPEL repository is still quite empty. So, for production, I would recommend to stay with 6.5 for a little longer.
Exactly what you want
Seemed harder to find than it should have been, but exactly what your looking for in most cases. Just the clean minimal official CentOS 7.
