AMI – Amazon Machine Image

Region specific – can be copied - only unencrypted volumes - or with a costumer key

Cross-Account copy - affect ownership - you must get premotions from the owner

When using AWS backup, it will take EBS snapshots with no reboot behavior

No Reboot - create AMI without booting the system – risk file system

Cross Account AMI Sharing does not affect ownership (copy to take ownership)

Image builder – create, test AMI’s & shear across regions, schedule (Free)

Can force users to specific AMI using tags and AWS Config

Set (*) wildcard as the principal and set PrincipalOrgId as a condition. (organization)

No reboot Option

allows to create an IAM without rebooting the EC2

creates an EBS snapshot (no OS buffer)

can use AWS backup to automate the process

can use AMI to migrate EC2 from one region to another

Region specific - can be copied. When we create an IAM = EBS snapshot

EC2 Image builder

automate EC2/containers creation

create image , add apps - AMI , create test EC2 and test it (security/apps/os) can distribute

can create time based - free service
