That is indeed what Amazon AMIs are for.  😊

However if your question is “why don’t the C* developers do that for people?” 
the answer is going to be some mix of “people only do so much work for free” 
and “the ones that don’t do it for free have a company you pay to do things 
like that (Datastax)”.  Keep in mind, that when you create AMIs you’re using 
AWS resources and whoever owns the account that did the work, is on the hook to 
pay for the resources.

But if your question is about whether you can do that for your own company, 
then obviously yes.  And when you do so at first it’ll be about C*, then it’ll 
be about how your company in particular likes to monitor things, and handle 
backup, spec out encryption of data at rest, and deal with auth security, and 
deal with log shipping, and deal with PII concerns, and …

Which is why there isn’t really a big win to other people setting up an AMI for 
you, except in cases where they are offering whatever-it-is-as-a-service and 
get paid for its usage.  1000 consumers will say they want a simple thing, but 
all 1000 usages will be a little different, and nobody will like the AMI they 
get if their simple thing isn’t present on it.

(plus AMI creation and maintenance, within and across regions, is just a pain 
in the rump and I can’t imagine doing it without money coming back from the 
effort)

OOO but still relevant:
Would not it be possible to create an Amazon AMI that has all the OS and JVM 
settings in the right place and from there each developer can tweak the things 
that need to be adjusted?
Best,
Sergio

Hi,

I have tested both alpha and alpha2 and 3.11.5 on Centos 7.7.1908 and
all went fine (I have some custom images for my own purposes).

Update between alpha and alpha2 was just about mere version bump.

Cheers
