Q3: What do you mean by AMI? What does it include? ☆☆
Answer:
AMI stands for the term Amazon Machine Image. It’s an AWS template which provides the
information (an application server, and operating system, and applications) required to
perform
the launch of an instance. This AMI is the copy of the AMI that is running in the cloud as a
virtual server. You can launch instances from as many different AMIs as you need. AMI
consists
of the followings:
A root volume template for an existing instance
Launch permissions to determine which AWS accounts will get the AMI in order to
launch the instances
Mapping for block device to calculate the total volume that will be attached to the
instance at the time of launch

Q4: What is the connection between AMI and Instance? ☆☆
Answer:
Many different types of instances can be launched from one AMI. The type of an instance
generally regulates the hardware components of the host computer that is used for the
instance. Each type of instance has distinct computing and memory efficacy.
Once an instance is launched, it casts as host and the user interaction with it is same as with
any other computer but we have a completely controlled access to our instances. AWS
developer interview questions may contain one or more AMI based questions, so prepare
yourself for the AMI topic very well.
