I'm trying to select an AMI in the Create Launch Configuration screen, but it's impossible to find my needed AMI from the dropdown.
I expect the following menu:
But AWS currently shows:
The dropdown has a lot of AMIs but not what I need.
I can't search for my AMI either - the dropdown isn't finding my existing AMI.
CodePudding user response:
The AMI field on the Create Launch Configuration page does a search by AMI ID, not AMI name.
Searching for a value like 'Ubuntu' won't work.
Feel free to copy the AMI ID from the first page (e.g. ami-0069d66985b09d219
is an Amazon Linux 2 AMI in the eu-west-1
region), paste it in the field & it will find the AMI from your AMIs / AWS marketplace / community etc.
