Creating an EC2 Image Builder Pipeline

Overview

Domain expertise for creating and managing EC2 Image Builder pipelines that automate

custom AMI creation. Covers the full lifecycle: IAM role setup, build component

definition, image recipe creation, infrastructure and distribution configuration,

pipeline execution, and launch template creation.

Create an Image Builder pipeline

To create a complete EC2 Image Builder pipeline with custom AMI builds and

cross-region distribution, follow the procedure exactly.

See EC2 Image Builder pipeline procedure.

Troubleshooting

InvalidParameterValueException on pipeline operations

Use the exact ARN returned by API calls — do not construct ARNs manually. Pipeline

ARNs must follow arn:<partition>:imagebuilder:<region>:<account>:image-pipeline/<name>.

InstanceProfileNotFoundException

Wait 10–15 seconds after creating the instance profile before using it. IAM changes

are eventually consistent.

ResourceAlreadyExistsException

Delete the existing resource first or use a different name/version.

Build instance fails to launch

Verify the instance profile exists, all three IAM policies are attached, and the

instance type is available in the region.
