Gowtham Hari Dhandapani · Accepted Answer

Amazon-provided AMIs are pre-built, standardized images offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that you can use directly to launch EC2 instances. Custom AMIs are created by users, either from scratch or by modifying an existing AMI, to include specific software, configurations, or customizations that are not provided by the pre-built images.
