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 version has been optimized to accommodate less strict firewall/iptables rules to better support the provision of Docker/container environments. We do not provide rootless mode of Docker due to two reasons: 1) It has higher risk by enabling unprivileged user namespaces. 2) It's user's decision to make. VED can provide some protection even under unprivileged user namespaces is enabled. Additionally, v1.6 now includes support for DNSCrypt to enhance DNS privacy protection.
