Can i make microinstance from AMI created from small Instance in AWS EC2

Question

I am currently uisng Amazon Ec2 micro instance to make my server ready so that i can shift to small instance when everything is ok.

Now as RAM is very less in micro instance , I am not able to install few things which i need to install.

I can update now to small instance but i was thinking that once i ahve all ready on micro instance then i will make AMI from there so that i case i need to run future microinstances for some tetsing then i can use those and close them when i don't need.

Now i want to ask that if i upgrade to small instance. then create AMI from it. Then can i make microinstance from that AMI or EBS Snapshot

Answer 1

Once AMI has created , from that AMI you can launch any instance type .
