Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Customer reviews
Easy and Quick to setup
I am grateful Qtum released this on AWS. I use to stake with my laptop and my node could not be online 24h. Having the power of Qtum on AWS instance is just magical.
I plan to have a try
I always used my PC to run a Qtum node for "staking" before. . I think this service will be helpful for me and I'd like to have a try. But there is one thing I'm still worried about that if it is secure enough.
Best way to set up a running QTUM Node for your development needs
In 2 minutes, you have an up and running QTUM node for your development needs.
Just remember, after it runs, to start qtumd (ssh to the instance and run qtumd)
And, if you need to access it from outside (not logged in with ssh), to update Security Group.
