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
For Ubuntu Cloud Guest it is suggested to manually configure your Security Group/Firewall settings. The 1-Click Security Group opens only port 22 so that you can access your instance via ssh using login 'ubuntu'. If you chose the 1-Click Security Group, you may change it later to enable applications using the AWS Console or API.

Very good
Works very well, updated kernel and packages. I had no issues connecting. This image is optimized for AWS. 5 stars from me.
Perfect Distribution (& How to SSH)
All is running well - as expected - the only hidden hurdle: SSH Access.
If you had a standard RSA Key for your other instances, AWS always wants to use that first... don't. Instead create a new ed25519 key, start your instance with that and enjoy.
m6a instances aren't supported?
It's a terrible oversight that m6a instances are not marked as supported while it is supported for the Minimal Ubuntu 22.04 image.
Works Perfectly
Not sure why others had issues with SSH.
I was able to launch new image and SSH immediately with key pair I created during launch.
Problem to access ssh
After several attempts configuring instances for arm and x64, it has not been possible to access the instance via ssh to port 22 with the user "ubuntu". We already verified the correct configuration of the security group.
