Solution	Amazon Machine Image (AMI) needs to be identified to locate the correct/needed image. The AMI can be found using the AWS console or search from GUI. Note: The steps outlined in this article are also applicable to FortiAnalyzer on AWS. Open AWS console: The following commands can be used to find the AMI for the desired version: aws ec2 describe-images --region ca-central-1 --filters "Name=name,Values=FortiManager*7.2.8*" --query 'Images[*].{Description:Description,ImageId:ImageId,Architecture:Architecture}' <----- This command will list all available v7.2.8 versions and their AMIs on the AWS marketplace: aws ec2 describe-images --region ca-central-1 --filters "Name=name,Values=FortiManager*7.2.*" --query 'Images[*].{Description:Description,ImageId:ImageId,Architecture:Architecture}' <----- This command will list all available v7.2.x branch images on the AWS marketplace. Note that region and filter can be changed as needed. When the command is executed, the following output appears: $ aws ec2 describe-images --region ca-central-1 --filters "Name=name,Values=FortiManager*7.2.*" --query 'Images[*].{Description:Description,ImageId:ImageId,Architecture:Architecture}' [ { "Description": "FortiManager-VM64-AWSONDEMAND build1638 (7.2.9) GA", "ImageId": "ami-0152ae3e040649e4c", "Architecture": "x86_64" }, { "Description": "FortiManager-VM64-AWSONDEMAND build1634 (7.2.8) GA", "ImageId": "ami-00084bed62108845d", "Architecture": "x86_64" } ] The AMI can be located for each available version. For example FortiManager-VM64-AWS build1638 (7.2.9) AMI is: ami-0152ae3e040649e4c After the AMI is identified, browse to the EC2 page choose AMIs, and use the AMI captured from the command to filter the search and locate the image.
