Manage EC2 Image Builder pipelines using the console

Image Builder image pipelines provide an automation framework for creating and maintaining custom AMIs and container images. Pipelines deliver the following functionality:

• Assemble the base image, components for building and testing, infrastructure configuration, and distribution settings.

• Facilitate scheduling for automated maintenance processes using the Schedule builder in the console wizard, or entering cron expressions for recurring updates to your images.

• Enable change detection for the base image and components, to automatically skip scheduled builds when there are no changes.

• Enable rule-based automation through Amazon EventBridge.

  Note

  For more information about using the EventBridge API to view or change rules, see the Amazon EventBridge API Reference. For more information about using EventBridge events commands in the AWS CLI to view or change rules, see events in the AWS CLI Command Reference.
