Updating machine catalog when VM's are running in AWS

Instructions

• Identify the master AMI used for the catalogue creation from Studio.

• Launch a new EC2 instance using above highlighted master AMI from AWS console.
• Make the changes required on the instance.                                                                                                                    Note:- In case of 2016 and 2019 Windows images run the below PowerShell command before shutting down the instance.

• After initialize task reports as “Ready” in the output.
• Click à Start à Run EC2LaunchSettings on the instance, select password as “Random” and select “Shutdown “without Sysprep””.
• Once the instance stops, create an AMI of that instance from AWS console.
• Once AMI shows as available, select update catalog in Studio and select the image created in previous step.
• Once the update process finishes, launch Studio and restart the catalogue machines.                                                  Note: -Restarting the machines from AWS console will not help in updating the base disk to the existing machines.
