What problem does it solve?

Manually creating and distributing custom AMIs is slow and error-prone, especially when you need consistent software installs, correct IAM setup, and repeatable infrastructure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end EC2 Image Builder pipeline: Creates the IAM role and instance profile, build component, image recipe, infrastructure configuration, distribution configuration, and the enabled pipeline.
  • Cross-region AMI distribution: Ensures the resulting AMI is copied to one or more target regions with consistent naming and descriptions.
  • Execution and launch template handoff: Starts a pipeline execution to build the AMI and prepares a launch template workflow to use the built AMI after it becomes available.

Quick Start

Ask your agent to create an EC2 Image Builder pipeline named custom-ami-pipeline in us-east-1 that installs AWS CLI v2, distributes the AMI to us-east-2, starts the build, and then creates a launch template named custom-ami-pipeline-lt.
