EC2 Image Builder

EC2 Image Builderis a fully managed AWS service that helps you to automate the creation, maintenance, validation, sharing, and deployment of customized, secure, and up-to-date Linux or Windows custom AMI. EC2 Image Builder can also be used to create container images. You can use the AWS Management Console, the AWS CLI, or APIs to create custom images in your AWS account.

EC2 Image Builder significantly reduces the effort of keeping images up-to-date and secure by providing a simple graphical interface, built-in automation, and AWS-provided security settings. With EC2 Image Builder, there are no manual steps for updating an image nor do you have to build your own automation pipeline.
