64-bit (x86) 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.

Usage instructions
For complete instructions on starting a DPA instance, please follow this link for more information: http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/kbloader.aspx?kb=MT2494
Once you verify in the EC2 console that your AMI EC2 instance is running, launch DPA by opening a browser and entering this URL: http://<Your_Public_DNS> (for example: http://ec2-54-175-249-214.compute-1.amazonaws.com ).
You can copy and paste <Your_Public_DNS> from your EC2 console. The initial DPA password will be your EC2 instance_id, which you can get also from your EC2 console. When you log in to DPA for the first time, you will be asked to: 1) Create a DPA repository. 2) Agree to the EULA. 3) Select a default timezone. Then you can then start registering databases for monitoring.
