In my case, I created two instances (1) SuSe, I think 17 and (2) Ubuntu 
22 - I do not think these are "custom" built/flavors by AWS; I see 
nothing that would suggest that.

Both installed with all standard packages but you can get to CLI and 
install/manage whatever you want.  Very easy, download the .pem file 
(key) and go to work with any SSH client or use their provided browser 
based ssh client.  You can also create your own key.

I also use "Terminal" to connect AWS paired with my key and copy between 
both my home server and AWS instances.

I opted to create two instances because the party that I am working with 
uses SuSe and I am used to Ubuntu; I am trying to play it safe since I 
had installed my filePro runtime (5.08.D16) in my Ubuntu server at home; 
trying to follow the path of least resistance.  ;-)

After my post, I did the following and got fp to work:

(a) sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/libpng12
(b) sudo apt update
(c) sudo apt install libpng
(d) sudo apt-get install -y unixodbc-dev

Oh, /var/appl/fp has a libfpodbc.so file, I copied it to /usr/local/lib; 
perhaps, the right thing would had been a link but a simple copy worked 
for me and I did not want to mess with |LD_LIBRARY_PATH.|

|

All in, I think that I am at about $50/month for both instances - I 
think the electricity at home may cost me about that to run a couple of 
servers.  ;-)

I hope that the above helps others - Thank you all for your prompt 
response and valuable input!
