Debian Jessie on AWS EC2

SSH username

SSH to Debian instances as user admin using your SSH key, and then sudo -i to gain root access.

What's in Debian Jessie EC2 Images

  • HVM images only - current generation EC2 instances all support HVM virtualisation.

  • 64-bit images only - current generation EC2 instances all support 64 bit; if you require 32 bit, please look at Multiarch

  • SR-IOV networking - Enhanced Networking (ENI)

  • ENA networking - Elastic Network Adaptor from release 8.6+1 onwards

  • Multiple ENI support - DHCP client is configured to support the number of network interfaces the instance supports (up to 8), hot plugged with udev

  • Multiple sub-interfaces - DHCP client is configured to support multiple IP addresses per interface

  • AWS CLI is installed by default

  • Python-boto is installed by default

  • apt-transport-https is installed; you can change your sources.list to https://cloudfront.debian.net (or other https site) if you wish!

  • Please report bugs to the cloud.debian.org pseudo-package, when they are related to the choices made when building the image (which packages to include, which customisation was made, etc.). Advanced users can add the usertags to triage the report more precisely.

AWS CLI

Enumerate Debian account AMI:

  • AWS profile default Region:

    aws ec2 describe-images --owners 379101102735 --filters "Name=architecture,Values=x86_64" "Name=name,Values=debian-jessie-*" "Name=root-device-type,Values=ebs" "Name=virtualization-type,Values=hvm"

  • Debian canonical Region:

    aws --region us-east-1 ec2 describe-images --owners 379101102735 --filters "Name=architecture,Values=x86_64" "Name=name,Values=debian-jessie-*" "Name=root-device-type,Values=ebs" "Name=virtualization-type,Values=hvm"

  • See describe-images documentation.


The Jessie release of Debian was built with bootstrap-vz (formerly called build-debian-cloud), and contains the CloudInit package.

Please note that a Marketplace image volume cannot be attached to another running instance (For example, to repair a broken /etc/fstab, or /etc/network/interfaces). This is a limitation of all Marketplace images, as described here: Official AWS documentation

Fun with cloud-init

You may wish to play with cloud-init, for example:

   1 #cloud-config
   2 package_update: true
   3 package_upgrade: true
   4 package_reboot_if_required: true
   5 packages:
   6 - pwgen
   7 - less
   8 locale: fr_FR.UTF-8
   9 ssh_authorized_keys:
  10 - ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nz....89dGp5 me@mykey1
  11 - ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nz....89dGp5 me@mykey2
  12 final_message: "The system is finally up, after $UPTIME seconds"
