<p>An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is a special type of virtual
appliance that is used to create a virtual machine within the
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud ("EC2"). It serves as the basic
unit of deployment for services delivered using EC2. Such AMIs
are available for <tt>8.3-RELEASE</tt> and later &os; releases,
and every ALPHA, BETA, and RC of &os;&nbsp;10.0. Starting from
&os;&nbsp;<tt>10.0-BETA1</tt>, &os;/EC2 images are running
"fully supported" &os; binaries, and starting from
&os;&nbsp;<tt>10.0-RC1</tt>, &os;/EC2 images include a
<tt>"configinit"</tt> system for autoconfiguration using EC2
user-data.</p>
<p>Due to limitations of old (<tt>m1</tt>, <tt>m2</tt>,
<tt>c1</tt>, <tt>t1</tt>) instance types,
<tt>"Windows"</tt>-labelled images are required for those
instance types; however all of the recent instances types
&mdash; <tt>m3</tt> (general purpose), <tt>c3</tt> (high-CPU),
and <tt>i2</tt> (high-I/O) &mdash; support &os; at the
<tt>"unix"</tt> pricing rates.</p>
<p>The maintainer of this platform considers it to be ready for
production use.</p>
