Installing Autodesk Flame on EC2

I’m very new to the tech side of cloud workstations and linux, however I’ve got a Houdini workstation up and running successfully. It’s a steep learning curve but really enjoying it.

My next objective is to create an EC2 instance to run Autodesk Flame. As it requires bespoke Centos 7.6 and DKU from Autodesk, is there a way to start an instance using a ‘standard’ Centos AMI from the Amazon Martketplace and then do a clean install of the specific OS required using the ISO supplied from Autodesk?

The other option that I see is to create a VM using the bespoke Centos and DKU and upload and import that to AWS, creating my own AMI.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
