This guide will explain about creating AMI from scratch. Here we will create AMI on local system. The main benefit of creating AMI on local system is cost saving; we do not need to launch instance for configuring application. Instead we can configure our OS, install / configure required software and then create AMI on local system. Then we can upload newly created AMI on s3. Now from this AMI we can launch instance when we need them. In this way we will get pre-configured instance. In this tutorial we will create Ubuntu AMI from scratch
In this tutorial we will create (create AMI from scratch on local system), bundle (bundle the image), upload (upload newly created AMI on s3), register (register uploaded AMI), run(run the instance based on this AMI) AMI
