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
To begin using this image, connect via SSH. Until you connect SSH into the instance and validate your credentials, you will not be able to access the Software. To connect to the operating system, use SSH and the username ec2-user. For instructions on using SSH to connect to your instance, see the AWS EC2 documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/AccessingInstancesLinux.html Please note, this image may take up to 10 minutes to instantiate.
Software and dependencies: the software is installed in the image at build time; launching the instance downloads nothing and needs no ongoing external service. Operating system updates are fetched only when you run the package manager.
Data and encryption: application data, configuration and logs are kept on the instance's EBS volumes. The image applies no encryption of its own; turn on EBS encryption by default in your account if you need encryption at rest.
Health check: in the Amazon EC2 console, choose Instances, select your instance and open the Status checks tab; both the system and instance status checks should pass.
Costs and quotas: the product creates no AWS resources other than the EC2 instance and its EBS volumes, billed at standard AWS rates. Manage EC2 limits in Service Quotas: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws_service_limits.html
