Interesting, thanks.
I will have a testing image up later today ( been iterating builds and tests at AWS all day today ). For now, lets go with 'centos' as the user, and see if we are breaking lots of stuff.
FWIW, I find the idea of setting a non priv user on cloud images like this a kind of strange security theater, but it seems everyone is doing it now. ;(
btw, how does this play with ansible which expects root login to the images ?
You can tell ansible to login as a user and use sudo for things. It's just a few more steps in config.
