Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for extended support.
This product is an AWS AMI (Amazon Machine Image) built upon openEuler, a leading open-source, enterprise-grade Linux distribution. It is designed to provide a high-performance, secure, and cloud-optimized operating system solution for diverse computing scenarios.
Through deep kernel-level optimizations and systematic security hardening, we ensure that instances are in an optimal state upon launch. This image is fully compatible with multiple CPU architectures, including x86 and ARM (AWS Graviton), ensuring reliability for mission-critical workloads.
Technical Specifications & Compatibility
Boot & Compatibility Optimization To ensure seamless performance and reliable booting within the AWS infrastructure (where TPCM is not present), this image is specifically configured to use Legacy BIOS instead of UEFI. By pairing this with a GPT partition table, we provide full support for high-capacity storage volumes exceeding 2TB, ensuring a stable and scalable experience for enterprise users.
System and Partition Configuration The system supports both Standard Partitioning and LVM (Logical Volume Management) layouts. The root filesystem is available in either ext4 or XFS formats. Each image is rigorously optimized for performance and stability based on its respective filesystem structure.
Note: Please refer to the Product Title to confirm the specific partition layout and filesystem type for this version.
Key Features
- Automatic Performance Tuning: Upon startup, the system automatically applies a suite of lightweight kernel optimizations tailored to the detected instance type. These adjustments span compute, storage, and network layers to ensure peak efficiency.
- Security & AWS Integration: The system comes pre-integrated with the AWS Systems Manager Agent (SSM Agent), enabling secure, credential-free management and automated operations.
- Firewall Configuration: For maximum out-of-the-box accessibility, the OS firewall is disabled by default, allowing users to define their own security boundaries via AWS Security Groups.
- Flexible Disk Layouts: Offers a variety of filesystem (Ext4/XFS) and partition (LVM/Standard) combinations to match your workload requirements-ensure to check the Product Title for the specific version details.
Quick Selection Guide
| Feature | Non-LVM Ext4 | Non-LVM XFS | LVM Ext4 | LVM XFS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Performance | Good | Excellent | Good | Excellent |
| Flexibility | Basic | Basic | High (Resizable) | High (Resizable) |
| Shrinkable | Yes | No | Yes | No |
| Best For | Simple Web / Dev | Data / Analytics | General Purpose | Enterprise / DB |
- LVM + XFS: Recommended for high-scalability enterprise workloads.
- Non-LVM + Ext4: Recommended for lightweight, fixed-size instances.

64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
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
This is a GA version.
Additional details
Usage instructions
Note: For all Avora Linux AMI products, the default login username is ec2-user.
Connect via SSH:
-
Launch the Instance: Launch an instance from this AMI using the EC2 Console or AWS CLI. Ensure you select a Key Pair during the launch process.
-
Security Group: Make sure the Security Group attached to the instance allows inbound traffic on TCP port 22 (SSH) from your IP address.
-
Connect: Open your terminal or SSH client and connect using the default username centos and your private key file.
Bash
ssh -i "your-key-pair.pem" ec2-user@<Public-DNS-or-IP> -
AWS Documentation: For detailed instructions on connecting to your instance, please refer to the official AWS User Guide: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/connect-to-linux-instance.html
Connect via AWS Systems Manager (SSM): This AMI comes pre-installed with the AWS SSM Agent. If you attach an IAM role with the AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore policy to the instance, you can securely connect via Session Manager in the AWS Console without opening port 22 or managing SSH keys. (For using Session Manager, please refer to the official AWS User Guide: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/connect-with-systems-manager-session-manager.html )
System Details:
- Root Volume: 8GB GPT.
- Boot Mode: Legacy BIOS.
