Context
Amazon
EC2
(Elastic Compute Cloud) allows users to launch virtual machines, known as instances, using pre-configured templates called Amazon Machine Images (AMIs
). An AMI includes the operating system, application software, and configuration settings required to run an instance.Over time, some AMIs become
deprecated
. A deprecated AMI is an image that is no longer recommended for use. While it is still available for launching instances if its ID is known, it does not appear in public searches. Deprecated AMIs may no longer receive security updates, making them a potential risk if used for new instances.Description
This check identifies EC2 instances running outdated or deprecated AMIs. It retrieves the AMI used by each instance and verifies if it has been deprecated.
