+We publish an Ubuntu 22.04 Amazon Machine Image (AMI) with Coder and Docker
+pre-installed.
 
-![Coder on AWS Marketplace](../../images/platforms/aws/marketplace.png)
+To launch a Coder AMI EC2 instance:
 
-Be sure to keep the default firewall (SecurityGroup) options checked so you can
-connect over HTTP, HTTPS, and SSH.
+1. Open the [Amazon EC2 console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/) and
+   confirm that you're logged in.
 
-![AWS Security Groups](../../images/platforms/aws/security-groups.png)
+1. Select **Launch instance**.
 
-We recommend keeping the default instance type (`t2.xlarge`, 4 cores and 16 GB
-memory) if you plan on provisioning Docker containers as workspaces on this EC2
-instance. Keep in mind this platforms is intended for proof-of-concept
-deployments and you should adjust your infrastructure when preparing for
-production use. See: [Scaling Coder](../../admin/infrastructure/index.md)
+1. Assign a name and, optionally, additional tags.
 
-Be sure to add a keypair so that you can connect over SSH to further
-[configure Coder](../../admin/setup/index.md).
+1. In the **Application and OS Images** section, use the search bar to search for `coder`.
 
-After launching the instance, wait 30 seconds and navigate to the public IPv4
-address. You should be redirected to a public tunnel URL.
+   Select the **AWS Marketplace AMIs** tab, then **Select** next to the
+   **Coder** AMI.

+   [Coder AMI directly](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-zaoq7tiogkxhc),
+   then select **View purchase options** to continue to the configuration screen.
+
+1. Name your instance, then in the **Instance type** section, use the dropdown
+   list to select `t2.xlarge` (4 vCPU, 16 GiB memory)
+
+   Keep in mind this platform is intended for proof-of-concept deployments and
