Ten years ago EC2 only supported Linux natively. AWS supplied the kernel, and the kernel was Linux 2.6.16 at that point in time. Right now AWS support other operating systems. Some users have had a lot of success running other OS's (e.g. Windows, but Solaris should also work) on top of the native Linux instances we provide, using emulation software like QEMU. For example see Enomaly (www.anomaly.net), and various postings resources on this Amazon Web Services site, e.g.
