64-bit (Arm) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
An instance may be managed via ssh or https. Most of the system configurations may only be adjusted via the https interface. To access the instance via ssh: log in as the admin user using the SSH key associated with the instance. E.g. run the command 'ssh -i my_aws_rsa_key admin@instance_host_name'. Substitute the file your private SSH key is stored in for my_aws_rsa_key and the hostname of the instance for instance_host_name. To access the instance via https, use a web browser: Type admin for the account name. The password can be set to a value of your choice when you start the instance by setting a value of the form 'password=your_desired_password' in the "User Data" field of the "Advanced Instance Options" section of the launch screens. If you don't set a password, a random password will be set. The random password can be viewed by choosing Get System Log from the Actions menu for the instance. To set a password during the creation of an instance: On the "Configure Instance Details" screen expand "Advanced Details". Make sure "As text" is selected for "User data". In the "User data" field enter a password of the form 'password=your_desired_password'.
