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?

That's a good question. AWS is not really a friendly environment for Kerberos
based IdM solution, especially the changing hostname part. There are procedures
and workarounds to make it running, but it still has some sharp edges.

You can find the most information in a great blog post by our user [1] or in an
upstream ticket [2] which should improve the situation in next releases.
