Connecting to a AWS (Cloud) AMI to create CentOS 6.5 OS

Post by James.ThomasJr » 2014/04/17 16:29:00

I want to create the correct EC2 AMI instance to load the CentOS 6.5 x86_64 OS image. Can any one direct me to the proper AMI? I see the following community AMIs listed; which is the right one to load? Or is there another AMI I can use?

A. cfncluster - CentOS6.5 x86_64 HVM - 20140317-0 - ami-03b1ba6a

B. RightImage_CentOS_6.5_x64_v13.5.2.2_EBS - ami-05ebd06c

C. Linux-PVC-Preboot-Build-96-Centos-6.5-64Bits - ami-065af96f

D. CentOS6.5_HVM_SR-IOV_ixgbevf-2.14.2 - ami-0bc9d462

The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
