Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale cloud computing easier for developers. EC2 allows you to launch virtual servers, known as instances, which can be used to run applications, host websites, or perform other computing tasks.
When attempting to launch an EC2 instance, you may encounter the error code InvalidAMIID.NotFound. This error indicates that the Amazon Machine Image (AMI) ID you specified does not exist or is incorrect. As a result, the instance launch process cannot proceed.
The InvalidAMIID.NotFound error occurs when the AMI ID provided does not match any existing AMI in the specified region. This can happen if the AMI ID is mistyped, the AMI has been deregistered, or if the AMI is located in a different AWS region.
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
Ensure that the AMI ID you are using is correct. You can do this by checking the AMI ID in the AWS Management Console:
Ensure that the AMI ID is available in the region where you are trying to launch the instance. AMI IDs are region-specific, and using an AMI ID from a different region will result in this error.
If the AMI has been deregistered, it will not be available for use. You may need to select a different AMI or contact the AMI owner for more information.
For more information on managing AMIs, refer to the Amazon EC2 AMI Documentation. If you continue to experience issues, consider reaching out to AWS Support for further assistance.
