Works out of the box - Unfair criticism
Please ignore the unfair ratings and criticism.
This works out of the box very well.
Follow the instructions in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtXP52qGphA&ab_channel=OverhangIO
It's for an older version of openedx but the instructions are still valid.

The install was slow but painless
We're getting started with this (v13.1.0), and while the AMI took a long time for us to get it into a usable state (also glad I understand DNS well), it worked fine in automating away all the hassle of doing the install ourselves. I appreciate the effort that went into this.
Latest version (13.0.2) fails to local quickstart
This seems to be brand new, so I feel bad giving a first review about a failed launch. But then again, you would think the developer would test it. The point of this image is to get you up and started with an open edX instance on AWS quickly. I've done this before, a long time ago with an older version, and the scripts are always a bit of a pain. So this sounded like a great idea.
There is even a video that you can follow step by step (though it appears to use an older version). Aside from configuring the security group, you should basically be able to choose a supported instance type and default settings. You then access the web-based configurator and type "local quickstart". The problem is it takes a long time and then fails. There is nothing you can do, since the whole thing is intended to be self-contained. I tried twice from scratch. Will try the older version, but I hope it's not another waste of time.
