Not a great choice for a long term deployment.

What's wrong with this stack. Well, a few versions behind - we are on 3.04 as of this writing. So just upgrade from console - right? Nope - fail.

PHP7 rocks! So why go with PHP 5.5.x? I can keep going and going. Oh, run a system check from the Piwik console - fail. Oh, and you can't run this on a micro instance - sorry! Burn. So much more.. GeoPHP? Where the heck is that?

Why I did give it two stars. Bitnami did have excellent support! So credit where credit is deserved. In fact, if this was a rating on support only I'd give them five stars. It's because I had to reach out to their support several times to get around so many issues. They were very helpful, but wasn't this stack supposed to be turn-key?

Well on the bright side Bitnami did take my client's money for about a week before I build the image from scratch on a micro.

And finally there is hope for Piwik fans that need a low cost stack out of the box. There is another company on AWS MP that makes a 3.04 stack with all the bells and whistles and you can run it on a micro. Just search for it.
