EC2 image builder creating AMIs with encrypted volumes

0

I am trying to create EC2 AMI images using EC2 pipeline builder. Need to host these AMIs on AWS marketplace for distribution.

Issue is - the AMI that is created automatically creates a root volume that is encrypted. AWS Marketplace doesnt allow AMIs with encrypted volumes. I have tried disabling encryption on the volumes in EC2 pipeline builder recipe, but doesnt help

Looking for suggestions that will help me create AMI with unencrpted root volumes.

Thank you for the response Shashank! Looks like my AWS account had default EBS encryption enabled, so every EC2 + EBS that was created was getting encrypted. Had to disable this global setting to get an unecrypted EBS and thus an AMI

Are you using custom AMI , generally when we use custom AMIs we encrypt the associated volumes , can you please check your custom AMI and if thats encrypted the image builder will create new AMI based on that image itself which results with encryption.
