Amazon free to new customers!

[Etzion Bar-Noy]

With defined limitations. You can use *their* kernel and initrd, or some
others supplied, but you cannot supply your own. Also - adding custom OS
selections is not trivial. If not already created by someone else (with
his/hers S3 space to store that image), you might find yourself lacking the
right image for your needs.

That said, almost anything can be done using the existing, limited, images
supplied by Amazon. Add to that the images supplied by users, and you will
be just fine.
