EC2 Image Builder now supports AMI distribution across AWS accounts

Posted on: Oct 28, 2020

Customers can now share AMIs from Image Builder pipelines with AWS accounts in multiple AWS regions, using the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI).

Customers can share their AMIs built with EC2 Image Builder with AWS accounts in a manner that gives the receiver account all of the permissions to modify the AMI. This removes the need to manually copy AMIs across multiple accounts and AWS regions. 

You can get started using the AWS CLI here. For more information on distribution configuration, see CreateDistributionConfiguration in the EC2 Image Builder API Reference.
