    Amazon Machine Image (AMI)

    An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

    Version release notes

    This major release includes an upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04 to the latest Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, as well as the integration of the Edge browser into our sample code scripts. Additionally, Python, NodeJS, and Java, along with their installed packages, have been updated to their most recent versions.

    Usage instructions

    Click here for detailed usage instructions with tutorials, screenshots, and troubleshooting tips. 

    Preconfigured sample code with Selenium is available in Python, Java, and NodeJS. These code snippets demonstrate common browser operations, such as initializing the web driver, navigating to URLs, clicking elements, sending keys, scrolling, and taking screenshots.

    Connect to the instance with SSH to run the sample code:

    • Python: Access the Python directory with cd /home/ubuntu/Selenium/Python. Run one of the prebuilt scripts, such as sample-chrome.py, sample-firefox.py, or sample-edge.py, using the command: python sample-chrome.py
    • NodeJS: Access the NodeJS directory with cd /home/ubuntu/Selenium/NodeJS. Run one of the prebuilt scripts, such as sample-chrome.js, sample-firefox.js, or sample-edge.js, using the command: node sample-chrome.js
    • Java: Maven is preinstalled to build the project. Navigate to the Java directory with cd /home/ubuntu/Selenium/Java. Run one of the executable files, such as SampleChrome, SampleFirefox, or SampleEdge, using the command: mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.example.SampleChrome"

    We keep software installations to a minimum, and no sensitive data is stored on the virtual machine instance. If you encounter any issues or have additional questions, please refer to our documentation or reach out to our support team.

    Message: Service chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 1

    This AMI was supposed to have all included, wasn't it? Seems like it's better to spend some time doing everything yourself.

    So glad I found this Service!

    First of all, the Selenium instances created by Michael were expertly deployed and setup in a clean and efficient manner. We were able to get started right away, and we ran bot headless versions and GUI version in no time. The documentation is very clear, even for a novice. Anyone looking to run SELENIUM would benefit greatly from using these instances.

    Now when we had requirements to go beyond EC2 instances, getting SELENIUM scripts running on LAMBDA, we reached out to Michael and he got back to us within 1 day and took on the mandate. If I could rate 11/10 I would. He translated our Java code to Python and expertly setup all elements of the process, having excellent knowledge of Amazon API services, AWS, EC2, and Lambda, as well as guiding is with our HTTP call parameters from Salesforce.

    like I said ... 11/10 ... needless to say: highly recommended.

    Needed to test out a quick script and found this AMI. It has -almost- everything you need to run a headless selenium system. Curiously, it is missing Selenium. A quick install and everything I tested works.
