Anyone built or builds there own desktop machines? What are your steps?\n\nask for software installation steps. 1st thing? what next?\n
Imagine if you could record the state of your machine at that moment in time.\nNow, imagine if you needed to set up a new machine in the exact same manner.\nThat's what an AMI is. Its a template of the OS and software at a given time\nthat can be used to start a new running instance. Remember, you're only charged\nwhile the instance is running. Make an image. Use it when you need it.\n\nThere're good opinions on how configured your desktop should be. Should it have\nyour mail client configured? Should it have all your photos and precious\ndocuments?\n\nFrom an enterprise stand point, should the image be setup with the application\nsoftware set to a specific version? This is a good question that we'll revisit\na little later in the talk.\n
Amazon has different regions, us-east-1, us-west 1 and different availability\nzones within those regions.\n\nRegions are for close to your customer. Zones are independent of one another. \n
