AMIs and Launch Templates

AMIs (Amazon Machine Images) store important information such as the operating system, applications, and configuration of an EC2 instance. When you create an AMI, you ensure that each new server you create has the same configuration and is ready to go right away.

A Launch Template is a tool used to configure new EC2 instances, including choosing the AMI, instance type, network configuration, and security options. When you need to create one or more servers with the same configuration, simply use a pre-configured Launch Template for quick and easy deployment.
