Are there standard AMIs that folks use to test cookbook changes  
before submitting pull requests back to opscode? I’ve found AMIs to  
use, but it would save me some time if there was a list of AMIs to use  
to test against. So before I submit a change back I could try  
spinning up a CentOS 5.x instance, a CentOS 6.x instance, etc.

Thanks,  
Jake.

Here is an internal list from Opscode, but it isn't official:
