Is there a place to get popular AMIs for Amazon EC2?
Solution 1:
Amazon keeps their usage statistics completely confidential, so there's no such list unfortunately.
Although from my own experience using EC2 it's always good to trust the following kind of images
- Images generated directly by vendors (for example Ubuntu)
- Images generated by VM power houses (Alestic, Rightscale)
This kind of AMIs will guarantee super awesomeness and also super documentation and support
