Great, it's Debian after all
The only thing I wish is that an ami with /var separated out would be nice to have. It's a significant hassle to do this.
Nothing wrong with this image (Check your routing table)
Like others I experienced some issues connecting to instances spun up from this image. The reason people are having trouble is this image runs on a VPC which is a little bit trickier to configure than EC2. In addition to the Elastic IP and Security Group you need a VPC, Subnet, Routing Table, Gateway. None of the configuration is terribly complex if you're familiar with the concepts but there's just a lot of ways it can be done incorrectly. In my case I forgot to add my gateway to the routing table so none of the instance's traffic was making it back to me. Once I added the gateway to the routing table everything worked great. :)
Great!
This is a fantastic Debian image. Users complaining that the admin user doesn't work are probably not authenticating with their AWS key. It is key-based authentication with "admin" as the user. I just built another instance today using this image, and it worked just fine. Thanks Debian!
Fast, easy, sane Debian deployment to EC2
So glad the Debian project maintains this AMI. Working great for our provisioning of new machines as we build out our infrastructure.
so far so good
So far this has been a high-quality Debian 8 image. The only issue with it I've seen so far is the following error while setting it up:
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: warning: the device.map entry `hd0,msdos1' is invalid. Ignoring it. Please correct or delete your device.map.
And Googling around didn't immediately turn up what to do about it.
Otherwise would have been a perfect experience out-of-the-box.
Works as Advertised
While not a professional sysadmin, I am a keen hobbyist and user of Debian. This image worked without fault for me. Thanks.
Very good and comfortable
Very good and comfortable distributive. I am using it for high loaded servers. PHP-FPM 5.6 performance is better than 5.5 and compare to HHVM.
Found: HVM Support
I was concerned after seeing reviews complaining about a lack of HVM support. But after a cursory search, I found Debian's wiki page, which clearly contains regional HVM AMI IDS:

I Love Debian, and Debian loves me! Sappy!
Works great~
Finally found the best Debian AMI for HVM support...
It would be best choice for many startups..
Sure, I'll recommend it
