Prevalidate AMI-name in a specific account.

[Akhilesh Verma]

Hi,
Can we prevalidate an ami-name in a specific account? right now I am facing issues when I create the same name ami with two different accounts.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Akhilesh Verma

Why not Create unique ami name that uses date/time stamp?

I have a use case to create same ami name with different account, so that another application form a ami name in given format and search it in a account.

are you tagging your AMI? that way, even though ami name is different, you can still search by tagging with the consistent name.

Or you can just share AMI if you don't need to build each time. When you share an AMI with different accounts, AMI name doesn't need to be changed and also you have the same consistent AMI id. 

But when you share an AMI with different account, you need to provide the tagging.
