For those of you looking for a 64-bit CentOS 6.3 AMI (Amazon Machine Image) to use or to create your own snapshot or custom AMI from, I have created both Instance-store and EBS backed Public AMI’s.
This is great if you just need a basic clean install of CentOS 6.3 or if you need to create your own custom image, read my blog How to create an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud EC2 Machine Image (AMI) CentOS 6 S3 Backed or EBS Backed and skip to “Steps to create a EBS Backed AMI from your S3 Backed Instance”.
You can find these AMI’s available in the Amazon Web Services Dashboard, or via the below links.
