Description

Application and OS Images (Amazon Machine Image)

If the OS cannot be selected from Quick Start, you need to select the AMI from Community AMIs. The AMI name contains a date. For security reasons, select the newest one possible.

Select an AMI whose AMI name is:

suse-sles-15-sp5-vYYYYMMDD-hvm-ssd-x86_64 (where YYYYMMDD indicates the date).

For example, the newest AMI name and AMI ID for the Tokyo region as of April 2024 are as follows:

AMI name: suse-sles-15-sp5-v20240129-hvm-ssd-x86_64

AMI ID: 03fab2ac00cd80df0

  • Network (VPC)

    For details about security groups, see Example security group settings for controller nodes.

  • Advanced network configuration - If you do not specify Advanced network configuration - Primary IP, a random address will be assigned out of the subnet.
