[AWS] - Create an AMI from an EC2

After importing the .vmdk template from VMware and creating an AMI out of it, it's now time to further modify the machine based on some recommendations I received from my team. There are certain features that they need and some they do not want to see. Instead of redoing the whole process in VMware, I build an EC2 instance from that old AMI, tweak it as they like and then recreate a new AMI.

Below is the process of doing this:

1. Log into AWS console.

2. Browse to the EC2 that was previously created. 

Click on the Actions button > Image and Templates > Create Image 

 

 3. Enter the AMI name and description and Click on 'Create image':

 

4.  Wait till the image gets created:

 

5. Type AMI on the services search bar and go to the AMIs. The status should be available

 

Now next step is to use this to create some Citrix Desktops through Citrix Daas on the current project I am currently working on.
