Esri provides three Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) you can use when building a site on Amazon Web Services (AWS). ArcGIS Server Cloud Builder on Amazon Web Services uses these AMIs to build ArcGIS Server sites, and you can use the AMIs with Amazon CloudFormation templates or the AWS Management Console to build sites.
You can download ArcGIS Server Cloud Builder on Amazon Web Services from My Esri. AMIs are publicly available from Amazon; you do not need to contact Esri Customer Service to access most of the ArcGIS for Server AMIs.*
*To use AMIs in Chinese regions, you still need to contact your regional office. Implementations in GovCloud require you work with Esri Professional Services.
Available AMIs are as follows:
- Esri ArcGIS 10.4.1 for Server on Ubuntu with PostgreSQL
- Esri ArcGIS 10.4.1 for Server with SQL Server
- Esri ArcGIS 10.4.1 for Server with SQL Server Express
The following table provides a summary of the software and components included with the current version of each AMI.

Typically, it's easier to build an ArcGIS Server site using ArcGIS Server Cloud Builder on Amazon Web Services. If you will be using the AWS Management Console to create a site from these AMIs instead, follow the instructions in Launch an Amazon Web Services instance running ArcGIS Server. To create a web GIS or ArcGIS Server site using AWS CloudFormation, see Use AWS CloudFormation.
