I started with creating my own EC2 ami’s based on a clean install of centos 5.3, and installed java and our default webserver wich is Apache Tomcat 6 the commands to make your own ami are pretty simple: copy your keys to the instance: scp -i id_rsa-your-key /path/to/keys/pk.pem /path/to/certificates/cert.pem root@public-ami-dns-name:/mnt go to /tmp dir cd /tmp create a volume for bundeling ec2-bundle-vol -d /mnt
