Simple, straightforward, works.
Stable OS, super simple instance launch (as it is with all AWS AMIs), works out of the box and it's free.

The free OS
Nice and stable. I am waiting for the new version of the distro.
Kudos for the maintainers.
PD: Remember that for logging in an instance you have to use a user distinct from root.
The Best Operating System.
The best operating system.
Totally stable.
I use my VPC and works perfectly.
I look forward to stable version 7 for AWS wheenzy too.
The best choice.
Stable and Reliable
Debian is well known for its stability and reliability, also debian has thousands of packages available and has a very strong community which compensates for paid professional support.
the universal operating system
always used debian in my servers, nothing better than the universal operating system, and a AMI from debian itself :)
integration with VPC
Yes, it's useful but I got some problems with integrating into VPC and adding NIC to it. So, when you add a NIC in your console, you should modify /etc/network/interfaces to make it up at boot and assign Fixed IP address. I also liked it more if it had some basic tools like 'less' installed.
Be aware of a critical limitation!
As noted (by me, heh) on the Debian wiki for the Squeeze marketplace images:
Please note that a Marketplace image volume cannot be attached to another running instance (For example, to repair a broken /etc/fstab, or /etc/network/interfaces). This is a limitation of all Marketplace images, as described here: Official AWS documentation http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/ApiReference-query-AttachVolume.html
Ephemeral storage
Great product but it is not working with EC2's 'ephemeral storage' as expected.
For example, M1 Medium Instance currently comes with 410 GB of storage (aka 'ephemeral storage') which supposed to mount on load in /mnt (or at least be visible/accessible as a disk volume in /dev/xv[db]) ... if you deploy this image you won't see instance storage at all, it just does not mount in any form.
Easy and straightforward Linux image.
Can't go wrong with this image.
I would of given a 5 star but I had to research what account to login as. FYI... Its "Admin"
Login info is wrong...
its not root its admin so:
ssh -i <pem_file> admin@<ip_address>
NOT
ssh -i <pem_file> root@<ip_address>
like it says in the amazon console.
Now hopefully that's the only bug, because I really like debian.
