Debian GNU/Linux 8 (Jessie)

A very good product
This Debian server is a very important test area for me. Thanks a lot to Amazon for this free opportunity. The configuration of istance is very simply and fast if you have a skill in IT scienze. I test virtual machine for a virtual pbx and a web server for word press. Firewall is easy to configure and change are applayed in real time. Congratulation for your cloud infrascture Amazon team.

I'm familiar with Debian GNU/Linux.
I've been a user of GNU/Linux for long time. Debian GNU/Linux is a kind of liberal OS/Distribution for computer science or computer technology skill.
It's a Debian server. On AWS. It's free tier applicable. What more do you want?
It's Debian, it's awesome. It just works and the AWS is a piece of cake to deploy. Apparently this review needs to be 20 words and I can't think of more to use, but this instance is great. Give it a go!
As good as expected
If you are used to Debian this is your choice. No issues, no problems, same old Debian as everywhere.
Just in a few minutes
Just about the time to setup a web server online with Apache, MySQL & PHP5. Secure and fast, no Debian install required, just click and use.
I really believe this will change the rules of the game for IT crow.
BAREBONES - follow my guide
Look people - This is a bare bones debian install - to get a webserver going...(or basically anything installed)
After logging in with 'admin' and your private key via SSH
sudo nano /etc/apt/source.list
deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main
deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main
deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-updates main
deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-updates main
You will have to update missing sw sources to the above.
Then;
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tasksel #key install sw for complex installs
Then; Set up a webserver.
sudo tasksel install web-server
sudo apt-get install build-essential php5-dev php5-gd php-pear
#make the webserver start on boot via remote control file
sudo update-rc.d apache2 defaults
#Personally I cannot function with out the locate command!
sudo apt-get install locate
then
sudo updatedb #update the directory database
anyway that should help a lot in getting many setup to use the service!
Easy and quick install of debian for my development environment
I have created 3 environments for development, test and production with debian Linux. Installation was fast and easy and it runs flawless.
Combined with the right backup tools and space on S1 it is secure. Even the t1-micro environment is fast enough to do all the tasks I want.
The Perfect Virtual Machine
It is Debian and that is what makes it easy to deploy and in minutes I have exactly what I need in any size instance.
Simply a debian :-)
No more to say: a small debian wheezy image, perfect to customize via --user-data-file switch of ec2-run-instances command (in your script remember to regenerate sshd keys and to remove "admin" unix user).
Debian is stable as ever
This is a stable image of Debian 7 (wheezy), and contains all that you would expect as such. Startup services are trimmed down to minimal for a lean footprint. Great for production.
