  3. Use the CentOS 6.3 minimal r2 x86_64 AMI image.
  4. Choose a 10 Gb EBS volume
  5. Set up the "default" security group and allow TCP SSH traffic from either all (0.0.0.0/0) or from your subnet (x.x.x.x/y)
  6. Save the .pem file that is generated into your ~/.ssh directory
  7. Record the public DNS name for your server
