I am running a Windows Server instance in AWS Cloud.I have created a snapshot for the same. When i'm trying to create a AMI from my snapshot it is asking Kernel-ID and RAM Disk ID. I don't know what these ID's are.

Can someone help me what these ID's are and where can i find these details in my instance.

Thanks

  • Have you really read the [docs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/CommandLineReference/ApiReference-cmd-DescribeImages.html)? – Deer Hunter Jul 15 '15 at 10:01

Kernel ID and Ramdisk ID properties are only applicable to Linux AMI images. They're simply not used for Windows AMI images.

But, it is not possible to create a functional AMI image from a Windows-based EBS snapshot. This process only works for Linux AMI images.

To create a Windows AMI image, you must create the image directly from the EC2 instance using the ec2:CreateImage API, CLI, or the AWS Management Console ("Create Image" under the Actions menu).
