How to use custom aws ami with machine executor (ubuntu 16 and up)?

Hi guys.
I’m trying to run my tests with node10 (not on docker for a reason)
I’m not able to find how to set a custom ami as described here:
https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/vm-service/
and the circle classic vm is 14.04 ubuntu which is much older than what i need.

Any solution for that?

If you would expand on that reason, readers may be able to suggest a way to do what you want inside Docker - which would presumably negate the need for a Machine executor.

Our tests fail on docker. The tests include all of our code so the docker has an huge footprint. we currently don’t have the capacity to eliminate the issue and It is working well on our ubuntu 16 machine. afaik - there used to be an option to provide an ami for the machine no?
