How to pass parameters to PowerShell Script File in EC2 Image Builder Component?

1. Here’s an example of how you would specify parameters in the component, as structured in the documentation:

schemaVersion: 1.0
description: Example EC2 Image Builder Component
parameters:
  - Param1Value:
      type: string
      description: Param 1 Value
      default: value-1
  - Param2Value:
      type: string
      description: Param 2 Value
      default: value-2
phases:
  - name: build
    steps:
      - name: RunPowerShellScript
        action: ExecutePowerShell
        inputs:
          commands:
            - .\sample.ps1 -param1 {{Param1Value}} -param2 {{Param2Value}}

2. How to pass sensitive parameters like password so that it is masked everywhere, including CloudWatch, Component screen and S3 bucket etc?

We do not recommend passing sensitive strings in component parameters, since they are stored in plaintext. Instead, you can do something like store the secrets in Secrets Manager and retrive them in your component's scripts, which can be done via AWS CLI in the component.

3. Apart from String type, what other types are supported for Parameters?

Currently, string types are supported in Image Builder.
