Step 3: Create a Fuser AMI (Linux)

Creating a Linux AMI for a fuser computer is a multi-part step that entails: launching an instance from an existing AMI, customizing the instance, and finally creating a new AMI from the instance.

To create a fuser AMI, follow the steps below. For more information, see: Getting Started with Amazon EC2 Linux Instances in Amazon’s AWS documentation.

Linux fuser AMI’s are generally recommended over Windows AMI’s since Linux instances are more cost effective to run.
