Step 2: Create an AMI

You can create an AMI to use to deploy a new Controller without having to go through the installation steps again.

Note: A new AMI should be created whenever the Controller version is upgraded, or configuration changes are made. This ensures that the changes are propagated to the new EC2 instance, in the event that you need to move to a different availability zone, for example. At the same time, previous AMI instances should be retained as well, in case a rollback is required.
  1. Stop the Controller Appserver once optimizations have been applied to it.
  2. Click Create Image to create an AMI for the Controller.
