I'm using Switchvox, an Asterisk PBX and I'd like to host it on EC2.
Digium Switchvox provides an ISO which contains everything needed to host the pbx server: OS, software, etc. It's basically an image of the server.
How do I instantiate a new EC2 instance using the custom ISO they're providing?

Log in to the AWS Management Console, display the EC2 page for your region, then click Instances. Choose the instance from which you want to create a custom AMI. Click Actions and click Create Image. Type a name for Image Name that is easily identifiable to you and, optionally, input text for Image Description.
Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/ . In the navigation pane, choose Instances. Select the instance you want to use, and then choose Actions, Launch More Like This. The launch wizard opens on the Review Instance Launch page.
From this ISO, you can create either a VMware or VirtualBox image. Form there, you may convert this image into an EC2 AMI image and go from there.
Just make sure you are using the same arch (32 v. 64) and proper kernel.
That being said, you might get into more operations then simply fire up an existing vanilla AMI available from the community. There might be one that closely match your OS requirements.
