Ubuntu is distributed on two types of images described below.
The Ubuntu Cloud image can be run on your personal Ubuntu Cloud, or modified, rebundled and uploaded to Amazon EC2. For further instruction on setting up a personal Ubuntu Cloud, see Getting Started with Ubuntu Cloud
There are two images available, each for a different type of computer:
The images have been published to Amazon EC2, and can be used immediately with no need to download anything. See the table below for the AMI ids. For further instruction on getting started with Amazon EC2, see the EC2 Starters Guide.
