Does Deep Discovery Inspector support creating an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) from an EC2 instance of the Deep Discovery Inspector virtual appliance?

No. Deep Discovery Inspector does not support creating an AMI from an EC2 instance of the Deep Discovery Inspector virtual appliance.

After installation, the Deep Discovery Inspector virtual appliance creates a UUID automatically and this UUID is used everywhere when communicating with Trend Micro global services. Creating a VM clone will corrupt the health status of bounded services.

If the Deep Discovery Inspector virtual appliance detects that the instance ID has changed, there is a warning message on the Deep Discovery Inspector virtual appliance management console.
