What's new
To reduce the time required to synchronize a cloud account, you can now select which Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) you want to synchronize into Commander’s inventory. This is useful in environments with large numbers of AMIs that are infrequently used. For more information, see Adding AWS Cloud Accounts.
For new features in previous 8.5 versions, see Release Notes.
