EC2 Image Builder, a service that makes it easier and faster to build, customize and maintain Virtual Machine images, now supports additional Operating Systems - Amazon Linux 2023 and Ubuntu 22.04 Long Term Support (LTS). Customers can use these new managed images as a base image for their image pipelines to create and manage custom images, similar to the process for supported Windows and Linux operating systems.
EC2 Image Builder provides a one-stop-shop to automate image management processes such as creation, patching, testing, distribution, and sharing. Customers can generate an automated pipeline to produce secure, up-to-date Linux and Windows Server images. When software updates become available, Image Builder can automatically produce a new image, run tests on it, and distribute the output image to the stipulated AWS regions.
For EC2 Image Builder availability, refer to the AWS Region Table. For more information on the operating systems, see EC2 Image Builder documentation. Get started from the EC2 Image Builder Console, CLI, API, Cloud Formation, or CDK, and learn more in the EC2 Image Builder documentation.
