Amazon has started offering a year free trial: Ihttp://aws.amazon.com/free.
So I'm trying to get my first instance ever running on ec2. I'm trying to use the x86-64 ami from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_SIG/EC2_Images.
But:
/opt/amazon/webservices/ec2-api-tools-1.3-57419/bin/ec2-run-instances ami-e291668b -k pstam-keypair Client.InvalidParameterValue: The requested instance type's architecture (i386) does not match the architecture in the manifest for ami-e291668b (x86_64)
Supposedly the Micro instance in the free trial supports both 32 and 64 bit:
Micro Instance
613 MB memory Up to 2 EC2 Compute Units (for short periodic bursts) EBS storage only 32-bit or 64-bit platform I/O Performance: Low API name: t1.micro
I tried:
/opt/amazon/webservices/ec2-api-tools-1.3-57419/bin/ec2-run-instances ami-e291668b -t t1.micro -k pstam-keypair Client.UnsupportedOperation: AMIs with an instance-store root device are not supported for the instance type 't1.micro'.
The 386 ami works.
Am I doing something wrong, or does F14 64-bit image just not work as a micro instance?

Well it appears that the 32 bit image doesn't work either as a micro instance! Is this a result of the images being "instance-store" rather than EBS backed images? Whatever that means.
AFAICS, none of the the F14 images work under the free tier :-(
