This skill helps to walk you through the Creation of Amazon Machine Image (AMI) by step by step assistance. An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is a template that contains the necessary information to launch an instance in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. It includes the operating system, application server, and applications configured on the instance. When you create your own configuration on an instance, you can save it as an AMI. This allows you to reuse that configuration and launch instances with the same setup whenever needed. By sharing your AMI in market place, you provide others with a pre-configured environment that matches desired software setup.
Prerequisites:
- An active AWS account
- Sufficient privileges to create and upload AMI
- To make the AMI available to market place ref: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/marketplace/latest/userguide/ami-single-ami-products.html
- After July 15th, 2023 Block public access for AMIs setting is either enabled or disabled by default for an AWS account. So this skill assumes that the user has permission to unblock and make the AMIs to be allowed for public visibility.
