## Content

A SysOps Administrator has shared an AMI from account A to account B and then de-registered the AMI in a few days. What is the outcome of this action?Ref: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/account-transfer-ec2-instance/ Ans: You can't launch new instances from the AMI in account A or in account B If you share an AMI from account A to account B, and then deregister the AMI from account A, you can't launch new instances from the AMI in account B. The instances already launched from the shared AMI in account B, are not impacted by this de-registration - Deregistering the AMI in the original account doesn't impact instances launched from the shared AMI. If you need to launch new instances after deregistering the AMI, you can create a new AMI from one of the new instances.
