AMI (Custom Image)

Please see the instructions for importing an image here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vm-import/latest/userguide/vmimport-image-import.html

You will need to create a virtual machine in VMware, Virtual box and build it from you iso. Once this is done, then you’ll need to create and upload your virtual machine such as a vmk/ova and import into AWS to create your AMI.

You can’t create an AMI or boot an ec2 from an ISO.
