Is the AMI supposed to be internal to some organization / domain
or is it supposed to be completely public? I slightly assume the first
because you probably have some particular FreeIPA server instance
hardcoded in the AMI.

Is it acceptable to change the hostname of the instance to be in the
domain managed by the FreeIPA server?
