How to create a customized AMI image for EC2

Custom AMIs are required when you want to replicate your environments or launch a new EC2 in your autoscaling group, which has the same image as the EC2s which are already running. You lose a lot of time in setting up your server with the required applications, if you are doing it from scratch all the time.

Commands Used in this Lab are below:

sudo apt update -y
sudo apt install apache2 -y
sudo service apache2 status
sudo service apache2 start

This video shows how to create an AMI from your running EC2 in which you have already installed various applications. When you use the new AMI to launch a new EC2, all these applications will be already present in that AMI. This saves environment setup time.
