I'm not sure which you mean as usable:  lxc is very usable, and
lets you run multiple application and system containers of various
distros.  The lxc-users-5NWGOfrQmneRv+LV9MX5uipxlwaOVQ5f@public.gmane.org mailing list was
recently started to accomodate its growing user base.

The kernel on the ec2 instance, however, is not :)

It might be worth jumping onto #ubuntu-virt and asking whether
they have, or can publish, a kernel with, at the least:

CONFIG_CGROUP_DEVICE=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_FREEZER=y
CONFIG_NAMESPACES=y
CONFIG_UTS_NS=y
CONFIG_IPC_NS=y
CONFIG_USER_NS=y
CONFIG_PID_NS=y
CONFIG_NET_NS=y
CONFIG_VETH=y
CONFIG_MACVLAN=y
CONFIG_BRIDGE=y
CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y

Those should be sufficient to start using lxc very nicely
