Community Note

Tell us about your request image-builder-lambda-update-ssm.py in the samples repo is nice if you only have one account and ImageBuilder is in that account. But ImageBuilder pipelines offer AMI distribution feature to distribute AMIs across accounts which is a typical enterprise use case.

We want a boolean switch feature that, if set to true will automatically update SSM Params with the AMI ID. The feature will be an option in the distribution config on an ImageBuilder pipeline which will also have the option of setting the value of the ssm param key.

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard? We want a feature that will automatically update SSM Params with the AMI ID. Currently AWS provide no documentation or guidance on how to do this and we get into all sorts of arguments about the most reliable, secure, efficient and least complex way of achieving this, so it needs a solution.

Are you currently working around this issue? How are you currently solving this problem? We are not and our solution will be complex.
