How does one deploy on of their images on EC2 (without using their beta cloud offering) ?

The TurnKey Amazon EC2 documentation is available here [1], and the full listing of the AMI's is here [2].

Out of curiosity, why don't you want to use the TurnKey Hub (I.e., beta cloud offering)?

Because I don't want to add another website/API to the mix.

I've noticed now that they also seem to push towards a subscription model for the EC2 images... I don't really like that. TurnKey always looked like something odd to me each time I saw it mentioned on HN: it's open source-y, but for the one stuff I might give it a try (cloud image/AMI) they want to introduce some fees somehow.

This has kept me from trying them and sticking to the Alestic/Canonical base images.

BTW, just googled your name and found out you're one of the founders but I won't rephrase the lines above, the message remains.

I have one question regarding your open-source model: how exactly does one build one of your AMIs? Your FAQ mentions http://code.turnkeylinux.org/ and http://github.com/turnkeylinux but how does everything go together ?

What is your equivalent of 'make lamp' or 'make drupal6'? (Just asking, didn't dig too much but also didn't see it very font-center).

I'm currently running vanilla Ubuntu 10.04 on my Linode, but this looks like a solid offering, bringing together a lot of services so that things work 'out of the box'.

Have any HNers used this? Is it good enough to switch?

For Linode, you can consider rapid deployment using StackScripts, http://www.linode.com/stackscripts/
