"If you are working on amazon, then it's Linux distro might be a good fit for you."
4/5
What do you like best about Amazon Linux AMI (64-bit)?

Amazon has its own distro which is optimized in its own nature with its dedicated platform. It is also available which you can use locally and it comes with the Yum Package Manager, people familiar with Redhat/Centos might find it handy. It even comes with few AWS tools pre-installed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Linux AMI (64-bit)?

Nothing in specific but according to the FAQ page, the LTS image will only last 5 years and will BREACH the kernel-space ABI. As a result, this could be challenging. Of course, Amazon could be targeting a different type of customer than the traditional enterprise tier. We'll see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
