- Name of Software to be on the AMI with version numbers.
- Linux distribution and the version.
- The EC2 instance type you plan to spin up from the AMI (optional).

Configuration
- By being on the machine, the Kubernetes environment can be accessed using kubectl with no additional configuration.
- If you need to access it from a remote machine, get the KUBECONFIG used locally on the server node, and edit the server info to match with the server IP or FQDN, and point KUBECONFIG to the updated config file.
