Amazon Machine Images

Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) are like ready-to-use templates for creating virtual computers in the cloud. They include the operating system, software, and settings needed to launch a new virtual server quickly and consistently. Think of an AMI as a snapshot that ensures each new server starts with the same setup, saving time and reducing errors. Users can choose or customize AMIs to deploy applications efficiently, making infrastructure management scalable and reliable in Amazon Web Services (AWS).
