aws ami_AWS AMI – Amazon计算机映像

aws ami

AWS AMI or Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is a way to launch a virtual machine in the AWS cloud. In general, to launch a virtual machine we use the standard distribution of the providers. But what if you want to launch several identical instances of virtual machines. You need something that can give you identical instances each time you launch with a very short launch time.

AWS AMI或A​​mazon Machine Image（AMI）是一种在AWS云中启动虚拟机的方法。 通常，要启动虚拟机，我们使用提供程序的标准分发。 但是，如果要启动几个相同的虚拟机实例该怎么办。 您需要一些可以在每次启动时以非常短的启动时间为您提供相同实例的东西。

The answers to all questions is Amazon Machine Image (AMI). You can launch identical instances as many as you want, all in one go. And it takes a very short time in AWS to launch a virtual machine with AMIs. We have launched an EC2 machine with an AMI in our post “Amazon EC2 – AWS Elastic Compute Cloud”.

所有问题的答案是Amazon Machine Image（AMI） 。 您可以一次启动任意数量的相同实例。 而且，在AWS中花费很短的时间即可启动带有AMI的虚拟机。 在我们的文章“ Amazon EC2 – AWS Elastic Compute Cloud ”中，我们推出了带有AMI的EC2计算机。

什么是AMI？ (What is AMI?)

AMI is an abbreviation for “Amazon Machine Image”. Amazon Machine Image provides essential information to launch a virtual machine in the cloud. You can launch several instances at a time in case you want multiple instances with the same configurations.

AMI是“ Amazon Machine Image”的缩写。 Amazon Machine Image提供了在云中启动虚拟机的基本信息。 如果您希望多个实例具有相同的配置，则可以一次启动多个实例。

An AMI typically contains three below things in it:

AMI通常包含以下三个内容：

1. Template – For the root volume for the instances (An application server, an OS, and applications)
   模板–用于实例的根卷（应用程序服务器，操作系统和应用程序）
2. Permissions to Launch – Which account can use this AMI to launch instances.
   启动权限–哪个帐户可以使用此AMI启动实例。
3. Block Device Mapping – that specifies the volumes to attach to the instance during its launch time.
   块设备映射–指定在启动期间要附加到实例的卷。

AWS provides you the web interface to launch Amazon EC2 instance. It has ready to instantiate AMIs (Amazon Machine Images) available.

AWS提供了用于启动Amazon EC2实例的Web界面。 它已准备好实例化可用的AMI（Amazon机器映像）。

AWS AMI的类型 (Types of AWS AMI)

There are no certain types of AMI but you can choose an AMI based on the below characteristics:

没有特定类型的AMI，但是您可以根据以下特征选择AMI：

1. Operating System Based – You can choose a machine image based on the operating System such as Linux, Windows etc.
   基于操作系统 –您可以基于操作系统（例如Linux，Windows等）选择机器映像。
2. Architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) Based – Based on the architecture of the underlying operating system.
   基于体系结构（32位或64位）的–基于基础操作系统的体系结构。
3. Region Specific – Region and availability zone specific machines images.
   特定于区域-特定于区域和可用性区域的计算机映像。
4. Storage Based – Based on the storage for the root device. All Amazon Machine Images are either backed by Amazon EBS or by instance store.

   See the below summary table: (reference : https://aws.amazon.com)

   

   Storage Based Summary

   基于存储–基于根设备的存储。 所有Amazon Machine Image均由Amazon EBS或实例存储支持。

5. Launch Permission Based – The owner of the AMI can decide the visibility and launch permission of the AMI. Available launch permissions are:
   1. public – All AWS accounts gets the access of these AMIs.
   2. explicit – Owners g
