An AMI (Amazon Machine Image) is a template that contains the software configuration needed to deploy a virtual Intelligent Virtual Execution - Server appliance (known as an instance in AWS). The software configuration includes the operating system, application server, and applications that are needed to launch the appliance. The software configuration also contains the guest images that you need to install after the Intelligent Virtual Execution - Server appliance is deployed.
Important
The Intelligent Virtual Execution - Server appliance is deployed using a bare metal instance. You form an IVX cluster with virtual Intelligent Virtual Execution - Server appliances the same way you form a cluster with physical Intelligent Virtual Execution - Server appliances. An IVX cluster must be comprised of all virtual Intelligent Virtual Execution - Server appliances or all physical Intelligent Virtual Execution - Server, not a combination of both. Any sensor or hybrid appliance can send submissions to an IVX cluster comprised of virtual Intelligent Virtual Execution - Server appliances.
The following table summarizes the steps to launch a Intelligent Virtual Execution - Server instance in Amazon Web Services (AWS).

1. Launch the instance. | Some settings are defined by your system administrator. Other settings are required for the Intelligent Virtual Execution - Server appliance. For instructions, see Launching a virtual Intelligent Virtual Execution - Server instance on AWS. |
2. (Optional) Apply the activation code and configure the initial admin password for the appliance in the AWS Management Console. | See Configuring the activation code and initial Admin password. |
