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
Multiple Operating System Versions and Flavors Available: Choose from a wide range of popular Linux distributions and Windows Server options, ensuring compatibility and flexibility for your deployment needs.
Additional details
Usage instructions
Once the instance is launched in the Amazon EC2 service, connect to it via an RDP client using the Administrator user. Ensure the EC2 instance passes the 2/2 status checks before connecting to allow the system sufficient time to complete the boot process. To obtain the randomly generated password for the Administrator user upon boot, log in to the AWS Console, navigate to the target AWS account, and select the region chosen to host the newly launched cloudimg AMI.
