Is a Amazon Machine Images (AMI's) static or it's code be modified and rebuilt?

Something is not quite clear to me here. First of all EC2 images running in the cloud are just like normal virtual servers, so If you have an access to the running instance there is no difference between instance in the cloud and instance on another pc in your home for example. You have to find out how opentaps are installed on the provided amis, then do your modifications, create an image from the modified instance and save it to s3 for backup if necessary.

If you want to start with fresh instance, you can start up any linux/windows distro on the EC2, install opentaps yourself your way and you are done.

Cool thanks, I expected the image to have SunJDK installed because you can't compile opentaps with OpenJDK, but clearly they got it on there without ever building it. Also the lib folders had read only permissions ... I suppose that has to do with it being an image... other then that there is no difference – justify Jun 1 at 7:24.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
