EC2 Image Builder

EC2 Image Builder is a fully-managed service that simplifies customization, testing, distribution, and lifecycle management of Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) and container images. Keeping AMIs and container images up-to-date can be time consuming, resource intensive, and error-prone. In practice, customers either manually update and snapshot EC2 instances or invest in developing custom automation scripts for image maintenance. EC2 Image Builder significantly reduces the effort of keeping images up-to-date by providing built-in automation, and AWS-provided security settings. With Image Builder, there are no manual steps for updating an image and customers do not have to build their own automation pipeline. Image Builder is offered at no cost, other than the cost of the underlying AWS resources used to create, store, and copy the images.
