# EC2 Image Builder Image Pipeline

An EC2 Image Builder Image Pipeline is a resource in AWS that automates the creation, management, and deployment of customized machine images. It defines the workflow for building images, including the source image, build components, tests, and distribution settings. The pipeline ensures images are kept up to date with the latest patches and configurations, reducing manual effort and improving consistency across environments.
