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.

Additional details
Usage instructions
This AMI provides a pre-configured Amazon Linux 2023 environment optimized for media processing using FFmpeg, FFprobe, and MediaInfo. Follow the steps below to launch and use the AMI effectively. Launching the AMI Go to the AWS Marketplace and search for Acrux Media AMI. Click "Continue to Subscribe," then "Continue to Configuration." Choose the Amazon Linux 2023 version and select your preferred AWS region. Click "Continue to Launch," select an EC2 instance type (recommended: Graviton2/3 ARM64 instances), and configure networking settings. Click "Launch" and wait for the instance to initialize. Connecting to the Instance Use SSH to connect to the instance using the command: ssh -i your-key.pem ec2-user@your-instance-ip. Replace "your-key.pem" with your private key and "your-instance-ip" with the instance's public IP. Verifying Installed Software Once connected, verify the pre-installed tools. Check FFmpeg version with "ffmpeg -version". Check MediaInfo version with "mediainfo --version". Check Python and development tools with "python3 --version" and "gcc --version". Using FFmpeg for Media Processing To convert a video file to MP4, use "ffmpeg -i input.mov -vcodec h264 -acodec aac output.mp4". To extract audio from a video, use "ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -q:a 0 -map a output.mp3". Using MediaInfo for Metadata Extraction To get metadata for a media file, use "mediainfo input.mp4". Storage and Networking Considerations Attach an S3 bucket for large media storage. Ensure your security group allows inbound SSH (port 22) and any necessary media processing ports. Stopping and Terminating the Instance Stop the instance when not in use to save costs using "sudo shutdown -h now". To permanently remove the instance, terminate it from the AWS EC2 Console.
