AWS-provided AMI is preconfigured by AWS for standard OS use, used for quickly launching a Linux or Windows instance. Marketplace AMI is provided by third parties with additional software or licenses, used for running commercial applications like SQL Server or monitoring tools. Custom AMI is created from your own instance with specific configurations, used for replicating a preconfigured environment across multiple instances.
