Back to Basics: Automating Virtual Machine Image Creation
Simplify building golden AMIs with AWS EC2 Image Builder. In this episode, Hareesh shows how to use EC2 Image Builder to automate the creation and maintenance of secure, standardized Amazon Machine Images (AMIs). Stop wasting time with manual, error-prone AMI processes. Let EC2 Image Builder handle the heavy lifting of building, validating, and sharing golden AMIs at scale. Help your teams provision compliant resources faster!
You'll learn how to:
✅ Create image recipes defining customizations like OS, apps, agents
✅ Use pre-built components for common packages and security benchmarks
✅ Configure build infrastructure like instance size, IAM roles
✅ Distribute AMIs across AWS accounts and regions automatically
✅ Set up automated image pipelines on a schedule or when dependencies update
