A user has launched an EC2 instance store backed instance in the US-East-1a zone. The user
created AMI #1 and copied it to the Europe region. After that, the user made a few updates to the
application running in the US-East-1a zone. The user makes an AMI#2 after the changes. If the
user launches a new instance in Europe from the AMI #1 copy, which of the below mentioned
statements is true?
A.
The new instance will have the changes made after the AMI copy as AWS just copies the
reference of
the original AMI during the copying. Thus, the copied AMI will have all the updated data
B.
The new instance will have the changes made after the AMI copy since AWS keeps updating
the AMI
C.
It is not possible to copy the instance store backed AMI from one region to another
D.
The new instance in the EU region will not have the changes made after the AMI copy
Explanation:
Within EC2, when the user copies an AMI, the new AMI is fully independent of the source AMI;
there is no link to the original (source. AMI. The user can modify the source AMI without affecting
the new AMI and vice a versa. Therefore, in this case even if the source AMI is modified, the
copied AMI of the EU region will not have the changes. Thus, after copy the user needs to copy
the new source AMI to the destination region to get those changes.
