Works as expected
The standard Debian experience - everything is set up the way you expect it to be. No problems or misconfiguration experienced to date.

DO NOT USE MARKETPLACE AMIS
Do not use marketplace images, if you accidentally make the root disk unbootable, you can not fix it by attaching that disk to another server.
Excellent - had Eccet running in the cloud in no time
While it is no wonder, as this is the standard deployment scenario, I still was amazed that I had Eccet up and running "in the cloud" just three days after I had started to look at Amazon Web Services at all.
Much of that attributes to have my standard deployment base OS available. The installation went so smooth that I am hard-pressed to find two little nags:
- It took me a moment to get used to the Ubuntu-style sudo-to-be-root configuration.
- The hostname isn't set to something that would resolve externally, but given the possibilities of assigning this very flexibly in the AWS, it might just not be possible always.
The latter was the only thing I needed to "fix" by setting it to the public instance DNS name, as my application uses the hostname to register instances with the broker service.
Overall rating: Excellent!
Very good
It is a well configured version of Debian 7, that I have installed php 5 mysql to run my applications. It work very fast.
Solid as a rock
This is the mother of various Linux distros and much appreciated by software professionals. I've been using live-build for a couple of weeks now and it is a thing of beauty. Thank you Debian.
Works great
Its debian, works great.
Notes:
Log in as admin.
You have to "purchase" and accept the terms of the image before you can deploy it.
Debian is our choice since 1999
Debian is prime choice for IT professionals, and we are using it since 1999. Packaging system provides quick installation of thousands of software programs. Updates are such that one need not re-install the system for years or never.
Great and Stable AMI
Exactly what you could expect from Debian. For those who have issues with logging in, please make sure you're using the 'admin' user as opposed to the 'root' user.
First choice for webservers
I’ve been using Debian for several years now and I’m completely satisfied. Stability, security and support are great. All software I want to use is available through aptitude or can be installed without any problems.
Debian rocks !! (Y) :)
This instance is amazing !! ... I recommend it very much. Ah !! ... and by the way, IMPORTANT: the user you must use to connect is admin, not the regular ec2-user as with other instances ... I've read several comments about connection errors, just use admin instead of ec2-user and you will be fine and please, RTFM when you have an error !! ;) :)
