Creating Windows AMI images from Snapshots
Posted: Thu Mar 30, 2017 5:18 am
Hi,
I am evaluating Automaticloud, and have found the scheduled snapshots work very well. However, when I create an AMI image from one of the snapshots to restore a copy, it is not properly identified as a Windows machine. I can create the AMI and deploy an instance from it, but AWS appear to identify it as a LINUX instance rather than a Windows instance. When I use AWS tools to create the snapshots and create AMI images from the snapshots, they are identified as Windows instances.
Is there something I am overlooking?
Thanks
