The ArcGIS Server AMIs
At version 10.2.2 of ArcGIS for Server, Esri provides three Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) you can use when building a site with the AWS Management Console. These AMIs are also used behind the scenes when you build sites with ArcGIS Server Cloud Builder on Amazon Web Services. Before you can build a site using either technique, you must provide Esri Customer Service with your Amazon account number so they can make the AMIs accessible to you.
The AMIs are
- Esri ArcGIS 10.2.2 Server on Ubuntu with PostgreSQL
- Esri ArcGIS 10.2.2 Server with SQL Server
- Esri ArcGIS 10.2.2 Server with SQL Express
Below is a summary of the software and components included with each AMI.

Typically, it's easier to build your site using ArcGIS Server Cloud Builder on Amazon Web Services. See Building an ArcGIS Server site on Amazon Web Services for setup instructions. However, if you will be using the AWS Management Console to create a site from these AMIs, follow the instructions in Using the AWS Management Console with ArcGIS Server instead.
