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 automatically produces a new image and distributes it to stipulated AWS regions after running tests on it.
Support for the additional OSes is available in all AWS regions. EC2 Image Builder offered at no cost, other than the cost of the AWS resources used to create, store, and share the images. For more information, see Image Builder documentation.
