First, create the AMI:

```bash
docker run \
    --rm \
    --volume $HOME/.aws/credentials:/root/.aws/credentials \
    --env AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE=${PROFILE} \
    --env AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=${REGION} \
    talos-systems/talos:latest ami -var regions=${COMMA_SEPARATED_LIST_OF_REGIONS}
```

Once the AMI is created, you can now start an EC2 instance using the AMI ID.
Provide the proper configuration as the instance's user data.
