Once the machine is running, you will be able to login as this user and use sudo to run privileged commands. Starting with CentOS-7 we now include cloud-init support in all CentOS AMI's, the default cloud user is setup to be 'centos'.However, we test the images with both Selinux enabled as well as permissive. All official CentOS Linux images are built with SELINUX set to enforcing mode.
