# Shared AMI (Amazon Machine Image)

At this stage, you'll launch the custom AMI shared by Nuvens to deploy WorkSpaces Manager. The AMI is based on **Windows Server 2019** and includes two volumes:

* **C:\\** with 75GB of storage
* **D:\\** with 20GB of storage

When deploying WorkSpaces Manager from a shared AMI, ensure that you use the newly created **Security Group** and the appropriate **EC2 instance profile** with the correct policies attached. This setup will grant the instance the necessary permissions to interact with AWS services, while the Security Group ensures proper network access and security.

For a real-world example of how to deploy an AMI via **Terraform**, please check this repository below for guidance and best practices:
