Official Debian AMI on AWS
Hello Team
I'm contacting you to ask a few questions about Debian on AWS.
I want to install the official Debian distribution, but i am a bit
confused about which distribution channels should i use.
From wiki (https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/AmazonEC2Image/Bullseye) i
found two methods to obtain the AMIs of Debian:
- AWS Marketplace AMIs:
https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/seller-profile?id=4d4d4e5f-c474-49f2-8b18-94de9d43e2c0
(in the following: reseller).
- Community AMIs: by using your AWS account ID 136693071363.
I installed an AMI from the reseller and in the subscription email sent
by AWS i read:
"* Debian 11 sold by Software in the Public Interest, Inc."
It's right?
I ask you:
- What is the official distribution channel of Debian? How do i find the
official AMIs?
- What are the differences between reseller-released and
community-released AMIs? They are equal? Do they have different
licensing terms?
- If the two distribution channels are the same why in Marketplace are
there not the same versions/regions released and listed in the wiki? For
example, i can't find the AMI for ARM64 in eu-south-1 using the reseller
but i found it using your AWS accont ID.
I hope you may help me.
Regards.
Marco
