Amazon EC2 macOS AMIs are now available on AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store

Starting today, customers can reference the latest macOS AMIs via public parameters on the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store. With this functionality, customers can query the public parameters to retrieve the latest macOS imageIDs, ensure that new EC2 Mac instances are launched with the latest macOS versions, and display a complete list of all available public parameter macOS AMIs. Public parameters are available for both x86 and ARM64 macOS AMIs and can be integrated with customers’ existing AWS CloudFormation templates.

This capability is supported in all AWS regions where EC2 Mac instances are available. To learn more about this feature, please visit the documentation here. To learn more about EC2 Mac instances, click here.
