I am a newbie on AWS . I did the following:

launched an EC2 instance
SSHed the instance and installed apache web server on it
echoed the hostname (private DNS) of the EC2 instance back .
created Image (AMI)
launched another EC2 with the image created above

I see that when I access the public ip for both the instances on the browser (http://ip) then it reflects the same hostname (private DNS) that was created on the original instance I was expecting that the private DNS should change on the second instance .Am I doing something incorrect ?

What do you mean by "echoed the hostname" and "reflects the same hostname"? What are you doing to obtain these hostnames? – John Rotenstein Jul 03 '20 at 11:49
echo "Hello World from $(hostname -f)" . By reflect I mean print back on the browser html page – Saurabh Khandelwal Jul 03 '20 at 14:47
