If you just use AMI images provided by someone else, you can simply ignore them - you will only need to use the AMI when loading new instances.

- (HVM) ARI AKI. AMI. , EBS, .
- (, Xen), EBS AKI, , , AKI, ARI.
AMI , AKI/ARI . , aki-88aa75e1 ( us-east-1, ) 5413 AMI ramdisk ari-a51cf9cc 683 AMI. Amazon , , , AMI. , -/ AMI, ARI AKI AMI, , AMI, .
