US West region?

A.
No, copy AMI does not copy the permission

B.
It is not possible to share the AMI with a specific account

C.
Yes, since copy AMI copies all private account sharing permissions

D.
Yes, since copy AMI copies all the permissions attached with the AMI

Explanation:
Within EC2, when the user copies an AMI, the new AMI is fully independent of the source AMI; there is no link
to the original (source) AMI. AWS does not copy launch the permissions, user-defined tags or the Amazon S3
bucket permissions from the source AMI to the new AMI. Thus, in this case by default Stefano will not have
access to the AMI in the US West region.
