1 year ago This is required. Node installs are now failing on Amazon Linux 2 using the provided component due to lack of support beyond GLIB 2.6. Only options are to install older version of Node, or (better) update to the new Amazon Linux 2022. But AL2022 is not available in EC2 Image Builder. I'm building infrastructure with the CDK and using the arn for the parentImage:
arn:aws:imagebuilder:us-west-2:aws:image/amazon-linux-2-x86/x.x.x
So, even if not available in the console just an arn would do for now.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently Amazon Linux 2022 is not supported as "Image recipes" of EC2 Image Builder. Normally you select "Select managed images" (Image Builder managed images created by you, shared with you, or provided by AWS.) The benefit: You can select for each Image the option "Use latest available OS version" (Auto-versioning options). By doing so, the Image Builder Pipeline can pick up the latest AMI, hence you are able automate for future builds.
Describe the solution you'd like Add support for Amazon Linux 2022 within EC2 Image Builder that the same "Image recipe" can automatically pick-up the latest Amazon Linux 2022 AMI (like it's done for Amazon Linux 2 at the moment).
Describe alternatives you've considered Many custom (lambda-)code to update "Image recipes" for each new Amazon Linux 2022 AMI ... :-/
Additional context We are using EC2 Image Builder to apply the EC2 Image Builder STIG components https://docs.aws.amazon.com/imagebuilder/latest/userguide/toe-stig.html (Security Technical Implementation Guides)
Furthermore, we will like the github issue for https://github.com/aws/ec2-image-builder-roadmap/ as well.
