Can I create multiple instance of same ec2 image

I have requirement of creating multiple instances of the same EC2 image from lambda as the EC2 image has some Windows Processing creating PDF files. Can I launch multiple instances of the same EC2 image and pass some parameters to each ec2 instance ( say name of the bucket in S3, and names are different).

Thanks in advance.

An AWS EC2 image provides essentially a snapshot of how the server should look.

This would include:

  • Any packages you need installed
  • Any configuration you need

If you want custom configuration applied on top you would need to either:

  • Make use of UserData when you launch the instance to run those additional actions
  • Create a custom AMI with the custom configuration included
