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.

Additional details
Usage instructions
For comprehensive documentation, visit 'https://www.silverlining.cloud/docs/aws/selenium-ubuntu '.
Start by connecting to the terminal using SSH on port 22 and log in as 'ubuntu'. To run commands in the background, initiate a tmux session with 'tmux'.
The system is preconfigured with Selenium and supports Python 3, Java, and JavaScript. Sample code files demonstrating common browser operations like initializing the web driver, browsing to URLs, clicking elements, sending keys, scrolling, and taking screenshots are included.
For Python 3, access the python3 directory with 'cd /etc/selenium/python3'. Run the Chrome script using 'python3 sample-chrome.py' or the Firefox script with 'python3 sample-firefox.py'. In Java, navigate to the java folder using 'cd /etc/selenium/java' and execute the Chrome script with 'java samplechrome' or the Firefox script with 'java samplefirefox'. For NodeJS, go to the nodejs folder with 'cd /etc/selenium/nodejs' and run the Chrome script using 'node sample-chrome.js' or the Firefox script with 'node sample-firefox.js'.
To view screenshots, simply use 'ls'.
For custom script development, in Python and NodeJS, you can edit and re-run scripts directly. In Java, however, you need to compile your changes before executing them. Compile Java files with 'javac filename.java'.

Message: Service chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 1
This AMI was supposed to have all included, wasn't it? Seems like it's better to spend some time doing everything yourself.
So glad I found this Service!
First of all, the Selenium instances created by Michael were expertly deployed and setup in a clean and efficient manner. We were able to get started right away, and we ran bot headless versions and GUI version in no time. The documentation is very clear, even for a novice. Anyone looking to run SELENIUM would benefit greatly from using these instances.
Now when we had requirements to go beyond EC2 instances, getting SELENIUM scripts running on LAMBDA, we reached out to Michael and he got back to us within 1 day and took on the mandate. If I could rate 11/10 I would. He translated our Java code to Python and expertly setup all elements of the process, having excellent knowledge of Amazon API services, AWS, EC2, and Lambda, as well as guiding is with our HTTP call parameters from Salesforce.
like I said ... 11/10 ... needless to say: highly recommended.
Almost everything you need...
Needed to test out a quick script and found this AMI. It has -almost- everything you need to run a headless selenium system. Curiously, it is missing Selenium. A quick install and everything I tested works.
