Selling AMIs on AWS Market Place

I am currently looking at the steps on how to created and sell AMIs.

I can easily create the AMI, however I am unsure about the required architecture that is needed. The Amazon documentation states:

  • Source AMIs for AWS Marketplace MUST be provided in the us-east-1 region.

Does this mean the AMI needs to be created from an instance that is in the us-east-1 region? As currently all my instances are in eu-west-1.

Solution

  • The created AMI must be present in the us-east-1 region.
