    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

    Bug Fixes: This update addresses an issue where some graphical applications would not start when clicked in the desktop environment. Additionally, it resolves a bug that prevented applications installed via Snap from appearing in the application list.

    New Features: We have streamlined the process for starting the GUI after each reboot by consolidating the logic into a single script located at /home/start-gui.sh. This script now handles all GUI-related tasks and is executed automatically after every reboot. The new setup makes it easier to change the username and password used to launch the GUI.

    Default Credentials for GUI connection:

    • Username: ubuntu
    • Computer Name: Public IPv4 address of your EC2 instance (e.g., 35.173.131.168)
    • Password: Instance ID of your EC2 instance (e.g., i-0ed22c98429479e1c)

    Connect with RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol):

    1. Launch your RDP client software on your local machine.
    2. Connect using the public IP address of your instance, on port 3389.
    3. When prompted, enter the username (ubuntu) and the password (your Instance ID). When connecting with Windows Remote Desktop Connection, go to "More Options" and select "Allow me to save credentials." This is the only way the app will prompt you to enter a password.

    Connect with VNC (Virtual Network Computing):

    1. Launch your VNC client on your local machine.
    2. Connect using the public IP address of your instance, on port 5901.
    3. When prompted, enter the password (your Instance ID).

    We keep software installations to a minimum, and no sensitive data is stored on the virtual machine instance. If you encounter any issues or have additional questions, please refer to our documentation or reach out to our support team.
