    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

    Packaged with the system updates as of January, 2024

    Additional details

    Usage instructions

    Connect to the instance via VNC or RDP:

    RDP (Recommended): use your favorite RDP client (connect to the TCP port 3389). The user name is ubuntu and the password is the first 8 characters of the Instance Id after the dash (Ex: for the instance id i-1a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9 , the password would be 1a2b3c4d)

    VNC: use your favorite VNC client (connect to the TCP port 5901). The password is the first 8 characters of the Instance Id after the dash (Ex: for the instance id i-1a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9 , the password would be 1a2b3c4d)

    Ps: We recommend the usage of only one method of remote access (RDP or VNC), mixing both can cause issues.

    Swift build. I recommend

    I found this system much cleaner and faster than the other AMIs I tested.
    Also great that it came out of the box with the major updates installed and security is just right.
    Definitely sticking with this one.

    Worked as Advertised

    It works out of the box, as advertised.

    The disgruntled user who said it did not having a working user probably didn't notice the "Usage instructions" tab on the instance in the AWS console.

    I'm only giving it 4 out of 5 stars because the vendor advertised "24/7/365 support". I raised a ticket on their site that I could not connect to my instance and designated the ticket as Critical. I'm annoyed that 48 hours later I still haven't heard from them. I eventually figured out my problem (it wasn't the AMI's fault).

    And now I'm happily configuring the instance to my own personal preferences...

    purchased this to save myself the work of having to setup and update everything. they're also good at updating the image so you don't even have to run apt update on boot

    hi!

    it's working nicely out of the box, I was wondering, how do I restart the GUI if the EC2 got rebooted?

    Many thanks,

    Does not have a working user. Tried the first 8 characters. Then the first 8 digits, skipping characters. No success.
