Amazon EC2 and Elastic Load Balancers – no paid AMIs?
I was setting up a load-balanced pair of Nodes on EC2 and ran into a snag: you can't add paid AMIs (we sometimes use the real RedHat AMIs) with the elastic load balancers!
So I kicked off some Centos 5.2 images from RightScale and moved everything over. This is going to cost RedHat, since now I've used the Centos images and they half the cost and just as nice. I doubt I'll be going back to using the expensive RHEL AMIs.

EC2 and OpenSolaris with EBS
Using OpenSolaris AMIs on EC2, and wanted to use EBS... currently, Elastifox is mute on naming the devices (only gives examples for linux based device names) so I was looking for a read on Opensolaris and found this.
