EC2 Image Builder now provides enhanced capabilities for managing image pipelines
EC2 Image Builder now automatically disables pipelines after consecutive failures and allows customers to configure custom log groups for image pipelines. These capabilities address common operational needs including improved control over pipeline execution, enhanced customization options for logging requirements, and better visibility.
Image Builder pipelines are used to automate the creation, testing, and distribution of custom images across your Amazon Web Services infrastructure. With the new automatic disablement feature, you can configure pipelines to stop execution after a specified number of consecutive failures, preventing creation of unnecessary resources and reducing costs from repeatedly failed builds. Additionally, you can also configure custom log groups for pipelines with specific log retention periods and encryption settings that align with your organizational policies, providing you an enhanced customization options for logging and better visibility. These enhancements collectively provide greater control and efficiency in managing your image building processes.
These capabilities are available to all customers at no additional costs, in all Amazon Web Services regions including Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.
You can get started from the EC2 Image Builder Console, CLI, API, CloudFormation, or CDK, and learn more in the EC2 Image Builder documentation.
