Amazon EC2 now enables AMI owners to define which instance types are compatible with their Amazon Machine Images. [^1]

AMI owners can specify supported instance types, unsupported instance types, or both to control launch permissions. [^2]

Any launch attempt on a non-permitted instance type is automatically blocked by the system. [^3]

The CEO of Ami advised doing old-fashioned things well, such as being on time, doing what you say, looking people in the eye, being kind, never gossiping, and looking after your reputation, and advised women not to wait until they tick every box before putting their hands up. [^4]

The CEO of Ami said good underwriting is part science, part judgment, relying on data, claims history, and actuarial models, but also experience and common sense. [^5]

The CEO of Ami said her main tasks include setting the direction of the business, ensuring financial and technical soundness, managing insurer and broker relationships, building the team, and thinking about people, underwriting performance, technology, products, and the future. [^6]

The CEO of Ami, a young insurance underwriting business, described underwriting as the engine room of insurance, involving assessing risk, deciding whether to take it on, pricing, and setting terms of cover. [^7]

By default, an AMI can be launched on any instance type, so existing workflows remain unaffected until restrictions are explicitly applied. [^8]
