Term

Amazon EC2 AMI icon

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.
