Amazon EC2 now supports specifying compatible instance types on AMIs

<p>Amazon EC2 now enables AMI owners to define which instance types are compatible with their AMIs. Owners can specify supported instance types, unsupported instance types, or both — and any launch attempt on a non-permitted instance type is automatically blocked.</p> <p>AMI owners now have a built-in way to prevent launches on instances that are not compatible with their AMIs. This reduces the risk of failed launches due to incompatible instance-AMI pairings. By default, an AMI can be launched on any instance type, so existing workflows remain unaffected until restrictions are explicitly applied.</p> <p>This feature is available in all AWS Regions at no additional cost.
