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.

A slightly more detailed answer: the ramdisk image (ARI) and the kernel image (AKI) are used as part of the boot sequence of the Linux instance.

More accurately:

  • (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, .

, Windows HVM, ARI/AKI Windows.
