How to get my AMI manifest path from EC2 user interface?

Question

I am trying to share my AMI with a colleague who is testing my change in my cluster computing application.

While it is easy to change the resolution of my AMI to "public", I cannot find its manifest anywhere, including in my S3 codes.

Is this feature missing for the AMI created in the EC2 console?

Answer 1

the manifest is only required for backing up the AMI instance. Here, the AMI is copied to the instance store (ephemeral store), and not to the volume of the EBS. This method is quite old, and today it is recommended to use the regular AMI, which is used to create the EBS boot volume.

AMIs created in the EC2 Management Console can be shared publicly or with special accounts .
