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
Connect to the instance via VNC or RDP:
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)
RDP: use your favorite RDP client (connect to the TCP port 3389). The user name is ec2-user 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)
Ps: We recommend the usage of only one method of remote access (RDP or VNC), mixing both can cause issues.
