Buy, share, and sell AMIs
If you created a customized AMI according to your needs for the organization if it is highly confidential you can keep that AMI in private or if it can be shared with the public you can keep it in the community so others can use it.
Instead of you creating customized AMIs for your organization you save effort forth and time by using the AMIs which are created by third-party organizations such as Red Hat, and Ubuntu. You can create your own customized AMI and sell it to other Amazon EC2 users depending on their need.
