Deploy a Preinstalled Selenium WebDriver to Automate Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge
Running Selenium WebDriver on an EC2 instance is the easiest way to get started with Selenium in the cloud. This AMI offers a reliable, ready-to-use environment for test automation, web scraping, routine web task automation, and application monitoring.
Easily connect to the virtual desktop using RDP or VNC. Use the EC2 instance's public IP as the hostname and the instance ID as the initial password for both RDP and VNC. Log in with the username "ubuntu".
For seamless development and execution of Selenium scripts, the virtual machine comes with Visual Studio Code preinstalled. You can edit scripts directly in VS Code or transfer your files remotely using tools like WinSCP.
This AMI is designed to be minimal, containing only the necessary installations required to run Selenium WebDriver on a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
Key Features:
- Ubuntu-based with a lightweight Xfce GUI for smooth performance.
- Connect via RDP or VNC to interact with the GUI remotely.
- Self-configures at launch: Use the EC2 instance ID as the initial password for RDP/VNC.
- Preinstalled Browsers: Chrome (+ ChromeDriver), Firefox (+ GeckoDriver), and Edge (+ EdgeDriver).
- Preinstalled Visual Studio Code with sample Selenium scripts and language bindings for Python, Node.js, and Java.
