Now customers can search AWS Marketplace Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) directly in the EC2 Image Builder Console and use those AMIs as base images in their image build workflows. Those AMIs can be accessed and used via the EC2 Image Builder Console, CLI, API, CloudFormation and CDK interfaces. This feature makes it easier for you to seamlessly track and integrate your AWS Marketplace AMI subscriptions in your image customization workflows.
With this feature, you no longer have to navigate away from the EC2 Image Builder Console to the AWS Marketplace Console and search for your compatible AMI products for your image pipeline. You can directly look up required Marketplace AMI from the EC2 Image Builder Console, subscribe to the AMI on AWS Marketplace, and use that AMI as a base image for your image build pipeline. Your subscribed AWS Marketplace AMIs are available in the subscriptions section in the EC2 Image Builder Console.
This feature is available in all AWS Regions, excluding the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and AWS China Regions (Beijing, operated by Sinnet), and China (Ningxia, operated by NWCD). Get started on this feature from the EC2 Image Builder Console, CLI, API, CloudFormation, or CDK, and learn more about the service in the EC2 Image Builder documentation. You can find information about AWS Marketplace integration in EC2 Image Builder on the feature documentation page. Also, learn more about upcoming EC2 Image Builder features on our public roadmap.
