Does anyone of you use the Amazon EC2 service with gentoo-based instances?

I just dig into the provided services there and wonder how to possibly
find a useful use case for me.

OK, I could rent a High-CPU-instance and emerge libreoffice in a few
minutes maybe ;-)

But I am interested if any of you use this and what for?

Especially: are there gentoo-based AMIs to be recommended?

I assume that it won't make much sense to try to setup a mail gateway up
there ... moving IP-adresses etc. seem to make that rather inconvenient
and a plain VPS somewhere might be better and cheaper?

Another case is S3: I research stuff like s3fs and doing encrypted
backups via duplicity and even amanda (using S3 as storage). That looks
promising for some use cases ...

Greets, Stefan
