How do I find an AMI for creating a launch configuration in AWS's new console?

I'm trying to select an AMI in the Create Launch Configuration screen, but it's impossible to find my needed AMI from the dropdown.

I expect the following menu:

But AWS currently shows:

The dropdown has a lot of AMIs but not what I need.

I can't search for my AMI either - the dropdown isn't finding my existing AMI.

Solution

  • The AMI field on the Create Launch Configuration page does a search by AMI ID, not AMI name.

    Searching for a value like 'Ubuntu' won't work.

    Feel free to copy the AMI ID from the first page (e.g. ami-0069d66985b09d219 is an Amazon Linux 2 AMI in the eu-west-1 region), paste it in the field & it will find the AMI from your AMIs / AWS marketplace / community etc.
