AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 286

A user has launched an EC2 instance from an instance store backed AMI. The infrastructure team wants to create an AMI from the running instance. Which of the below mentioned steps will not be performed while creating the AMI?

Answer options

• A. Define the AMI launch permissions
• B. Upload the bundled volume
• C. Register the AMI
• D. Bundle the volume

Correct answer: A

Explanation

To create an AMI from an instance store-backed EC2 instance, you must bundle the root volume, upload the bundle to S3, and register the AMI. Defining launch permissions is an administrative task performed after the AMI is created to share it with other accounts, not a step within the creation process itself.
