Actually, my question is much more general.

I would like to update the kernel to get some recent security updates.

ubuntu@ip-14-0-50-189:~$ sudo apt-get install linux-image

Package linux-image is a virtual package provided by:
  linux-image-3.13.0-87-generic 3.13.0-87.133
  linux-image-3.13.0-139-generic 3.13.0-139.188
  linux-image-4.4.0-111-lowlatency 4.4.0-111.134~14.04.1
  linux-image-4.4.0-111-generic 4.4.0-111.134~14.04.1
  linux-image-4.4.0-1011-aws 4.4.0-1011.11
You should explicitly select one to install.

E: Package 'linux-image' has no installation candidate

I need one of the 4.4.0 kernels -- generic, lowlatency or aws. The host is running in EC2, so I'm guess that aws would be an acceptable choice. But I don't have any actual information about the different types.

Where can I find information about the different versions I'm being offered here?

Why are generic and lowlatency version 4.4.0-111.134 while aws is 4.4.0-1011.1?
