Yeah, that's fine. What I was saying is simply that there are no instance types in EC2 which support both EBS and 32 bit.

I'm with you on that. I don't know many people who use 32 bit cloud images. 64 bit is available for every EC2 instance type, and like you said, other services support it. I'm likely not the best person to ask why we provide 32 bit images, though. It could be a legacy thing, but it might also be habit.
