64-bit (Arm) 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.
Version release notes
- update to latest Ubuntu 20.04LTS build on 2024-05-21.
Additional details
Usage instructions
After the instance starts running, open a browser page at its public IP address (e.g., "http://54.145.197.17 " or "https://54.145.197.17 "). The initial VNC password is the EC2 instance ID (e.g., i-950f5643) . The initial password for the default user, "ubuntu", is also the EC2 instance ID.
For VNC connections, use your favorite VNC client software (e.g., tigerVNC, tightVNC, realVNC) and connect to the instance public IP address at port 5900. The initial VNC password is the EC2 instance ID (e.g., i-0bc7900ef81bca6f2)
For RDP connections, use your favorite RDP client software (e.g., Windows Remote Desktop Connection, or Linux rdesktop), and connect to the instance public IP address.
Please don't connect to the same user with different connections. Specifically, user "ubuntu" is by default logged in over VNC, connect again over RDP will fail. Please create additional new users to connect over RDP sessions.
If you like to configure firewall manually instead of using the default one, please open the following TCP ports for incoming traffic: 22, 80, 443, 3389, 5900. For more usage tips, refer to the support forum, https://netspectrum.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=3
