Vector Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is a special type of virtual appliance used to create a virtual machine within the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (“EC2”). The AMI serves as the basic unit of deployment for services delivered using EC2.
An AMI is a template that contains a software configuration (for example, an operating system, an application server, and applications). An AMI provides the information required to launch an instance—a virtual server in the cloud. You specify an AMI when you launch an instance, and you can launch as many instances from the AMI as you need.
The Vector AMI is a Linux image that contains:
• Linux operating system—CentOS 7.4
• Vector Community Edition or Enterprise Edition
• Sample database table
• Sample data—real-world data from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation
It is deployed in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. For more information, see
