Images

The Images page allows users to view all AWS EC2 images associated with their account. This tool enables quick filtering and sorting of images to identify potential cost savings. It's also possible to view image metadata, such as installed software, for 7fivefive-approved images.

1. Login to the Lens Portal

2. In the left sidebar, expand the Workstations menu and then select the Configuration option

3. In the menu, under the Templates section, select the Images option

Filtering images

The Images page allows you to filter your EC2 images based on which account owns the image. Common owners are:

• 7fivefive
  This is a 7fivefive-created image that has been shared with your account for use with the Lens system

• self
  This is an image that was created in your account. It may be a derivative of a 7fivefive-created image, and therefore may have Image Library data associated with it.

You can also filter the images based on whether the image is part of the Image Library.
