Selects the latest version of Amazon Linux.

This Machine Image automatically updates to the latest version on every deployment. Be aware this will cause your instances to be replaced when a new version of the image becomes available. Do not store stateful information on the instance if you are using this image.

The AMI ID is selected using the values published to the SSM parameter store.

Example: 

 IVpc vpc;
 LoadBalancer lb = LoadBalancer.Builder.create(this, "LB")
         .vpc(vpc)
         .internetFacing(true)
         .build();
 // instance to add as the target for load balancer.
 Instance instance = Instance.Builder.create(this, "targetInstance")
         .vpc(vpc)
         .instanceType(InstanceType.of(InstanceClass.BURSTABLE2, InstanceSize.MICRO))
         .machineImage(AmazonLinuxImage.Builder.create().generation(AmazonLinuxGeneration.AMAZON_LINUX_2).build())
         .build();
 lb.addTarget(new InstanceTarget(instance));
