Overview
The Diamond IP Sapphire v5 appliance from BT provides basic level performance with superior reliability and security with the convenience of pre-packaged DHCP/DNS/IPAM (DDI) appliances.

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.
