AWS: Now you can copy AMI images between regions

Hallelujah, comrades, it is done! image

Not long ago, AWS introduced the function of copying snapshots between regions . It is very logical that the next step was made - copying AMI.

The Copy command appeared in the console in the AMI section:
image

Next, you will be prompted to select a region and image name:
image
')
Also after updating the CLI:
$ pip install --upgrade awscli 

there was a command:
 $ aws ec2 copy-image --source-image-id ami-e251c28b --source-region us-east-1 --name Ubuntu1004 --description CopyOfUbuntu --region us-west-2 49d9872e-a5f8-4062-b9e3-44e7503769df ami-ce1d88fe 

What does this new feature promise us and how did we manage without it earlier?

The function of copying images is needed for DR and for infrastructure distributed between regions. There used to be custom scripts that drove AMI through the regions. And now it has become several orders easier to do.

Dear AWS users, will it be easier for you with this new feature?
