Once the Docker setup is complete, you can access the Kali server by running:

Run the script and when it is finished you will have a Kali Top 10 Docker image.Access the new instance via SSH and copy this script to it.Configure the Security Group and SSH key to match your normal settings.Build a new Ubuntu 14.04 instance that has t2.medium specs or higher.Since Kali is running in a container, using it is a bit different than you may be used to. Below are the steps we use to build the Kali system, along with a link to a script to make it easier, and the basic usage instructions. I am a fan of Debian-based systems so I chose to build our Kali system on Ubuntu.

The officially supported method for running a current Kali box in EC2 is to use the Kali Docker image on the OS of your choice. While it is possible to create a Kali image from a Debian image, it is not recommended nor is it supported. We often have a need to run a Kali image in an EC2 environment and Offensive Security no longer maintains a Kali AMI.
