Creates a complete EC2 Image Builder pipeline that builds a custom AMI with pre-installed software, distributes it to target regions, executes the pipeline, and creates a launch template. Use when setting up automated AMI creation with IAM roles, build components, image recipes, and infrastructure configuration.
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.
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.
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>.
Wait 10–15 seconds after creating the instance profile before using it. IAM changes are eventually consistent.
Delete the existing resource first or use a different name/version.
Verify the instance profile exists, all three IAM policies are attached, and the instance type is available in the region.
