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
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.
