Virtual and Cloud Environment Management Plug-ins → Amazon EC2 Plug-in → Creating an Amazon EC2 Launch Instance Step
The basic building blocks of Amazon EC2 are the Amazon Machine Images (AMI). An AMI is a template that contains a software configuration, such as an operating system, application server, or applications that you can run in an Amazon environment. Amazon has a variety of AMIs available and you can also create you own.
To launch an instance from AMI, you need to create an Amazon EC2 Launch Instance step.
