Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
To automate the creation of AMIs using EC2 Image Builder, it is necessary to define a pipeline with a schedule for automation, specify an Image Recipe containing the base image and desired components, and assign an IAM role to grant necessary permissions. EC2 Image Builder handles the build and registration processes, eliminating the need for manual configuration during the build or manual AMI registration.
- A. Correct.
Correct. In EC2 Image Builder, you must define a pipeline to automate AMI creation and specify a schedule for when the pipeline should run.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. EC2 Image Builder automates the build process. You do not need to manually configure updates during the build process.
- C. Correct.
Correct. An Image Recipe specifies the base image and the components to include, which is a required step in setting up an Image Builder workflow.
- D. Correct.
Correct. EC2 Image Builder requires an IAM role with specific permissions to access resources such as S3, EC2, and Systems Manager during the build process.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. EC2 Image Builder automatically registers the AMI upon successful completion of the pipeline, so manual registration is not required.
