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.

Usage instructions

For Ubuntu Cloud Guest, it is recommended to manually configure your Security Group or firewall settings based on your application needs. The default 1-Click Security Group only opens port 22 to allow SSH access using the 'ubuntu' user. If you selected the 1-Click Security Group during deployment, you can modify it later through the AWS Console or AWS API to open additional ports required by your application.
