Ubuntu is a favorite platform for Linux stacks; AWS has hundreds of application stacks and application servers based on Ubuntu.
Amazon ec2 Linux instances do not come with a GUI. By default, you need terminal access for all application configuration. Most of the developers/sysadmins working with Linux would prefer the command line over Graphical User Interface.
Another option is to add their official repository to apt - this will provide you up to date AWS tools:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:awstools-dev/awstools
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ec2-api-tools -y
This is extremely useful for farther releases and and for up to date official bug fixes etc. just by running the usual
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
