Aryan,
The original Feodra 8 image came from the Amazon EC2 team, they
optimized it to run in EC2. I chose the Amazon fc8 image, because I'm
not comfortable getting OS images from third-parties. When Amazon
releases new images, I'll update the guide. You might want to
consider installing fc8 then upgrading to a newer release.
To build DAHDI kernel modules, all you have to do is setup your OS of
choice to use a build environment that matches the Amazon kernel you
are using.

Latency is pretty route specific. Amazon has good bandwidth, but I
would avoid proxying media if possible.
We haven't had any reliability problems with EC2 hosting our Asterisk
real-time application servers.

You do realize that your initials are EC ;) so amazon is your next logical
step
BTW trying EC2 for 1 week now, and its running better at 1 unit, then most
dedicated boxes out there.
