It didn't work
I was really looking forward to this one. I spent the entire day trying to install this. Then I found another video teaching how to setup openedx from scratch.
The instructions in the video of are incomplete and simply do not work on many systems. Sorry I wouldn't give such review if my time wasn't wasted.
Not working at all
I subscribed to a 30-day trial a couple of days ago, but it didn't work at all. The instructions were horrible. Then, Tutor charged me $508 today for a service that hasn't worked for a second, even though it's still within the 30-day trial period. The worst part is that there's no way to get support from Tutor.
I plan to dispute the charge with my bank and escalate the issue to AWS to request a full refund.
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.
