Ubuntu on AWS: A survey of use cases
summary
Official Ubuntu images on EC2 use a kernel tuned for fast boot and drivers, Canonical publishes AMI IDs as SSM public parameters, and container images for ECS/EKS are produced and updated by Canonical. Ubuntu Pro offers livepatch and ESM (extendable to 10 years); Ubuntu desktop on Amazon Workspaces ships as Ubuntu 22.04 with Pro included but requires Active Directory and lacks GPU g4dn bundles yet. SSM snap is preinstalled but disabled; Session Manager and Patch Manager enable key admin workflows.
