Bronze IICustom Lab creation AWS EC2 image issue
ImmerserHey hexninja !
This is awesome! Can you tell me what you are building exactly? Is it a vulnerable web app?
For clarity, when you share your AMI with us, we deploy it in our own lab environment, and we apply our own security group to that. We don't copy it, so you must keep a version of it in your own AWS account, but we do deploy the AMI itself in our own account. This means any network SGs on your own side aren't an issue. Unless you are talking about not being able to actually build the AMI because you aren't able to SSH/RDP in to test it?
We have a TON of docs and videos coming out soon to help people with building their own labs, which will be available in July - along with some other new features I think that will help you.

Bronze IIThanks MattParven
What I am building is some training for our team with work specific logs that we can analyse with an Ubuntu machine.
The issue was that our infrastructure blocks SSH and RDP so I wasn't able to connect and test to the image directly within our AWS 'burner' environment. I can connect to them via SSM but as it is just command line, setting up the XDRP Ubuntu GUI is a bit iterative knowing which parts are configured correctly ready for a user to interact with such as getting the test data and tools on the Desktop.
However, I have been able to build two AMIs and tested them in the Immersive Labs Create a Lab section and it works!
One is an Ubuntu server machine connecting via SSH and the other is Ubuntu GUI machine connecting via XRDP.
I have some issues when when trying to share our AMI's with encrypted(company policy) but I will send a separate message
