How to Share Your Paid AMI
After you associate the product code with the AMI, you need to share the AMI with
select customers or the public by using the
ec2-modify-image-attribute
command.
To share the AMI
-
Enter the following command:
PROMPT>
ec2-modify-image-attribute
<ami_id>
--launch-permission -a allThe <ami_id> is the AMI ID.
Even though you've shared the AMI, no one can use it until they sign up for your product by going to the purchase URL. Once customers sign up, any instances of the paid AMI they launch will be billed at the rate you specified during product registration.
