No. Not the same.

Your image needs to maintain all data betweens reboots and shutdown/startup
with aws. Once you add your repo and install sipx, you have no way to
guarantee that image will keep your data at the next use.

The firewall needs to use static (symmetric) nat in order for sipxbridge to
work.

If you're that confident give it a try and post a how-to.  "Anytime" we do a
deployment on aws, we use our own images so the data stays intact.

As far as ram, etc., depending on your density (user), the smallest instance
should be fine.

Good luck!

Tony,

 From what I've seen, EC2 provides a firewall as well as means to
configure ports and such.

I believe there is a CentOS 5.2 AMI available as well.

It should just be a matter of adding the repositories and using yum,
AFAIK...

I agree with 4.2 being the "magic release" in terms of the media server
situation -- at least from what I've read. Still, 1.7gb of RAM included
with m1.small should conceivably be enough. I'm a bit more worried about
the single-CPU issue, however.
