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.

Management over Thin Client (Only widnows)
Yes, this is one of the best Security Solutions provided by Check Point Software Technologies, but why all main features required additional software to be installed and only in Windows (Smart)? As a Linux Administrator which manage only Linux platforms, it sounds strange, there a lot of features on the Web UI, why not include all of them...
Easy-to-use threat prevention and cloud network security solution with great functionality!
My company has been using Check Point's CloudGuard IaaS security gateway and security management for advanced threat prevention, cloud network security and secure VPN connectivity between my corporate network and my AWS environment (tens of VPCs).
It is easy to learn, easy to deploy, easy to maintain, has the highest threat catch-rate to the best of my knowledge (and I compared it extensively with competitors) and provides extremely high value to me, my team and my company.
It is also natively integrated with AWS services, including VPC Ingress Routing, Transit Gateway, VPC Flow Logs, Security Hub, etc., making for a great user experience and definitely "better together" with AWS.
Thanks Check Point!
