Debian Jessie on AWS EC2

Testing Images (pre release)

Jessie is not yet released (as at 21/Sept/14). All images are temporary and may be removed without warning; please do not reference these AMIs in your CloudFormation templates or AutoScale groups (instead, clone them into your account).

SSH username

Connect to Debian instances as the user admin using your nominated SSH key, and then sudo -i to gain root access. Remote root and password-based SSH is disabled.

New 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 images only - enhanced Networking is enabled by default
  • 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

  • Python-boto is installed by default (from Debian package)

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

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
