You can use the free images built and maintained by StrongLoop. There are images for stable versions of node, for every region. You can search for "StrongLoop" under images. Latest version of node on these images is 0.10.26.

Answer 4

There are likely community supported AMIs that include Nodejs, however you'll probably get better mileage using a tool like OpDemand. They offer a number of different Node.js stacks that you can deploy on AWS for free. If you pair OpDemand's free account with a t1.micro, you can host and manage the whole thing for free!

Answer 5

You can install on the standard Amazon Linux AMI. For development and low traffic the micro-instance is great/low cost.

If you want a ready-to-go install check out No.de - sign up and generate a coupon. Free for now as well.

Answer 6

There isn't a specific pre-canned AMI, but you can install node.js in an instance based on a suitable AMI and then shrink-wrap your new build into an AMI of your own.
