64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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.

Usage instructions
There are two ways that you can configure a system to run SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. The first is to boot an instance running SUSE Linux in Amazon EC2. Once your image is running, you can use all of the standard SUSE tools including YaST and zypper to add packages and configure the system.
Another approach is to use SUSE Studio to configure a specific image that starts with SUSE JeOS (just enough operating system) and adds only those packages required to handle a specific workload. Among the variety of physical and virtual image types that SUSE Studio can build is the ability to create Amazon EC2 images, upload them to your EC2 account, and automatically launch them. For more information please visit: susestudio.com, or watch a video on SUSE Studio: Amazon EC2 integration.

why I prefer SUSE sles-for-sap15spx image?
I like simplicity.
In sles-for-sap images there is a tool called saptune which gives me the possibilities to apply important OS parameters according to the role of SAP workfloads, either HANA, Netweaver, MaxDB etc. and also according to sap notes.
Comparing to redhat images in which saptune does not exist suse is leading here.
In rhel I have to use e.g. tuned-profiles-sap-hana but prior installation of hana and I can't apply tuned settings upone sap notes, only entire role apply is supported.
Twelve points for SUSE.
