export EC2_HOME='/opt/aws/apitools/ec2'  # Make sure you use the API tools, not the AMI tools

export EC2_PRIVATE_KEY=/path/to/keys/pk-{Your Private Key ID Here}.pem

export EC2_CERT=/path/to/keys/cert-{Your Private Key ID Here}.pem

export PATH=$PATH:$EC2_BIN

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/latest

STEP 2: Create an AMI linked to the snapshot % ec2-register -n YOUR-AMI-NAME -d […]
