Is it possible to use an AMI created in one AWS region to launch an instance in another region?

Question

Mahesh B · Accepted Answer

No, Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) are region-specific, meaning that an AMI created in one AWS region cannot be directly used to launch an instance in another region. However, you can copy an AMI from one region to another using the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or SDKs. Once the AMI is copied to the desired region, you can then use it to launch instances in that region.
