AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 855

AMIs can be ______________.

Answer options

• A. only private unless created by Amazon
• B. created only by Amazon
• C. created only for Linux instances
• D. public or private

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) can be configured as either public, allowing anyone in the AWS community to use them, or private, restricting access to specific AWS accounts or just the creator. Users can create their own custom AMIs for both Windows and Linux operating systems, meaning they are not limited to Amazon-created or Linux-only environments.
