An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is a special type of virtual + appliance that is used to create a virtual machine within the + Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud ("EC2"). It serves as the basic + unit of deployment for services delivered using EC2. Such AMIs + are available for 8.3-RELEASE and later &os; releases, + and every ALPHA, BETA, and RC of &os; 10.0. Starting from + &os; 10.0-BETA1, &os;/EC2 images are running + "fully supported" &os; binaries, and starting from + &os; 10.0-RC1, &os;/EC2 images include a + "configinit" system for autoconfiguration using EC2 + user-data.

+ +

Due to limitations of old (m1, m2, + c1, t1) instance types, + "Windows"-labelled images are required for those + instance types; however all of the recent instances types + — m3 (general purpose), c3 (high-CPU), + and i2 (high-I/O) — support &os; at the + "unix" pricing rates.

+ +

The maintainer of this platform considers it to be ready for + production use.

+ + + + Hand over the task of building &os; AMIs to the Release + Engineering Team. + + Get Amazon to add "&os;" to the list of platforms + supported by EC2, so that it can stop showing up as "Other + Linux". + +
