EB docs refer to EC2Config and not EC2Launch when creating custom Windows AMIs #152

Closed maanisim closed 1 year ago

maanisim commented 1 year ago

When following Using a custom Amazon machine image (AMI) documentation in step 7 we can see:

(Windows platforms) Run the EC2Config service Sysprep. For information about EC2Config, see Configuring a Windows Instance Using the EC2Config Service. Ensure that Sysprep is configured to generate a random password that can be retrieved from the AWS Management Console.

Documentation source: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/using-features.customenv.html#using-features.customenv.create https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-elastic-beanstalk-developer-guide/blob/main/doc_source/using-features.customenv.md

The documentation specifies to use EC2Config, this tool has been replaced with EC2Launch as per https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/sysprep-create-install-ec2-windows-amis

You can find the same here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/Creating_EBSbacked_WinAMI.html#ami-create-standard

If you use Sysprep to create a standardized AMI, we recommend that you run Sysprep with EC2Launch v2. If you are still using the EC2Config (Windows Server 2012 R2 and earlier) or EC2Launch (Windows Server 2016 and 2019) agents, see the documentation for using Sysprep with EC2Config and EC2Launch below.

Please change the wording so that it's specified whether the EC2Launch or EC2Config is needed to be run
