    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

    After deployment, ssh and https are enabled by default. To access the instance using https use a recent webbrowser.

    The default username for your instance is : ec2-user (both ssh and https)

    We advise to setup an initial password in the "User data" which can be found in the "Advanced Details" of Step 3 during installation, make sure to select "as text" for the input method. The format for this data is as follows: password=mypasssword

    When omitting a password, one will be automatically generated, which will be visible in the "System Log" (Get System Log option of the instance). Please note that EC2 images often need some time to flush the content of the system log, when presented empty, wait for a minute and try again. A random root password will also be generated and visible from the same log.

    SSH access uses the key provided during installation, the ec2-user should be used as username (e.g. ssh -i my_delivered_ssh_aws_key ec2-user@my-host-at-ec2).

    It's opnsense. Works well, if you read the docs.

    If you've used opnsense on hardware, which you probably have if you're reading this - you know what to expect. It's a good product and super useful. What I will say is that between the confusion that can be AWS networking and the fact that the initial root password is shown once, it can be challenging. However, the documentation for this AMI is extremely good, and once set up, works exactly like you would expect it to. I would highly recommend it.

    OPNsense has a ton of features. Everything I need.
    For security reasons there is no default password. This is nice from security point of view but can be confusing for new users. Therefore check documentation https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/installaws.html#step-11-initial-root-password  and have a look at console output after first boot.

    The deployment is easy and hassle free because it come configured out of the box, just need to setup a proper AWS infrastructure for it to funtion. Overall, it works fine for me.
