AMI is named for Amazon machine image

It’s a customization of an EC2 instance.

  • We can add our own configuration and monitoring, … inside the machine.
  • Faster boot time because it’s pre-packaged.

AMI is built for specific region and can be copied cross region.

Type of AMI:

  • Public: By AWS
  • Custom AMI: By us
  • Market AMI: By partner and other vendors.
