A previous article showed how to create an AMI from an instance, now if you want to use that AMI to create an instance via the console do the following:

Go to EC2 console -> Click launch instance -> My AMI's -> Choose your AMI.

The steps are exactly the same as creating an AMI from Redhat, Centos, etc. Only this AMI will have your customisations.
