## Apache Tomcat by cloudimg
Apache Tomcat is the open source Java application server that runs servlet and JSP based web applications. This Amazon Machine Image delivers Tomcat fully installed and configured, so a Java application platform is running within minutes of launch. The release available is Tomcat 11.
## Application Stack
The image runs Tomcat 11 on the OpenJDK 21 headless runtime. Tomcat is installed on its own resizable volume, runs as an unprivileged service user, and starts on boot through a systemd unit.
## Secure First Boot
On the first boot of every instance a one shot service generates a fresh Manager password, unique to that instance, and writes it to a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image. The Manager and Host Manager applications are restricted to the instance itself.
## Ready To Use
The Tomcat service, the landing page and the management applications are all configured. Browse to the instance address to confirm Tomcat is online, then deploy your own web application archives through the Manager or the applications directory.
