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
ColdFusion (2023 Release) Update 11 + Hotfix JRE 17.0.13 There is a critical issue with applying Update 11 for Adobe ColdFusion 2023 on AWS. Applying Update 11 to your ColdFusion (2023 Release) instance will cause the ColdFusion service to fail to start. This AMI version includes Update 11 + Hotfix to resolve this issue.
If you are running ColdFusion 2023 and have not yet installed Update 11, we strongly recommend you take one of the following actions:
Option A: Wait to install Update 11 until Adobe releases the next update (as this is not a vulnerability update). Option B: If you need to apply Update 11, please follow the detailed instructions provided by Adobe, which include downloading and installing a hotfix.
For your convenience, here are the key steps for Option B:
- Download the hotfix (https://coalesce-awsmarketplace.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/cf/hf202300-4224138.jar )
- Install the ColdFusion 2023 Update 11
- Place the downloaded hotfix file in the
/cfusion/lib/updates and ensure that the file permissions match the chf20230011.jar that is present in the folder. - Restart the ColdFusion service.
*If the service fails to stop and restart with the normal operating system controls, you can try executing
/cfusion/bin/cfstop.sh and cfstart.sh (for Linux), cfstop.bat and cfstart.bat (for Windows), or restart the server.
If you see the message "Unable to initialise CFStartupServlet:coldfusion/license/SystemInfo" or "The ClientScope service is not available. This exception is usually caused by service startup failure. Check your server configuration." in your server.log during the service startup, this indicates that you still need to complete steps 3 and 4 from above (because your ColdFusion service requires the hotfix file to be installed and restarted).
When you have successfully completed all of the steps, you will see the hotfix file and chf20230011.jar in the cfusion/lib/updates folder, the server.log will include "ColdFusion started" after starting the ColdFusion packages, and ColdFusion will be serving requests. If unsuccessful, you will see chf20230010.jar in the cfusion/lib/updates folder, and you will need to start over with step 2 from above.
Adobe's engineering team is currently working to resolve this issue. We recommend completing a security review of your running instances and making the appropriate updates as needed. If you have any additional questions about this issue or need assistance with updating, please contact Adobe directly at: cfsup@adobe.com

Great product with impeccable support From Coalesce Solutions!
If I could give Coalesce Solutions10 stars I would!
Brian and his team provide great support and have been doing so since they migrated our complicated systems over to AWS a few years ago.
They keep these images up to date and inform me whenever there is a new change from Adobe that might affect our systems. They go above and beyond with their level of support.
