An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is an encrypted machine image stored in Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) or Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). AMIs are like a template of a computer’s root drive. They contain the operating system and can also include software and layers of your application, such as database servers, middleware, web servers, and so on.

N2WS Backup & Recovery is an AMI that you download from AWS Marketplace.
