I’ve created AMI image previously in this article here and now I want to restore it.
To restore the image, select the image to restore then click [Lauch instance from AMI]
- Give your new EC2 instance a name.
- Choose the instance type. I am originally using t4g.small. I’m going to select the same instance type but I can also change it to other instance type like t4g.medium. I am limited to ARM instance and not able to choose any x64 type.
- Choose a keypair for it.
- Select the same security group as the existing running EC2 instance.
- Use the same original size of the EBS or increase the size if necessary.
Once completed, check for its public IP and ssh into it to test if it is up. Lastly disassociate the elastic IP with the existing EC2 instance and have it associate with the newly restored EC2 from AMI.
