I hate to break it to you, but that's the canonical pronunciation that Amazon uses. You've got an uphill battle ahead of you!
- iforgotpassword 4y agoWhat does Amazon have to do with BIOS firmware!?
- jedberg 4y agoBecause nowadays the more common interpretation of AMI is Amazon Machine Image. A lot more people deal with machine images than BIOS these days.
- oarsinsync 4y agoWhat’s an Amazon Machine Image? Did they take over American Megatrends?
- InvaderFizz 4y agoIts like a VMDK or OVA or QCOW2, but Amazon's take on it.
- sokoloff 4y agoInteresting. I’ve only heard them pronounced as A-M-I or “aa-mee” (with the a as in apple rather than as in aim), including with some friends who work at Amazon.
- jedberg 4y agoYeah, I was thinking ah-me. Just not A-M-I.
