We're new to AWS and launched an EC2 instance, in addition to some other services. Public website isn't active. Main concern is Elemental Media Package at the moment used 500GB for one of the packages this month and we are not sure why so much data is being processed. Last month, there was over 2TB of data processed.lg...

I am getting an error distributing to another region / account with ec2 imagebuilder. The error is a bit vague and I am unable to locate any further detail of what is erroring. The "Reason for failure" states: "Not all distribution jobs are completed. 1)ami copy reported failure for ami... when distributing the image from the source account (IDxxx to the destination account IDxxx in Region us-east-2)" I guess the first step of my question is, is there further logging somewhere? I have looked under System Manager/Automation, but everything looks good there. I have looked under cloudwatch, but that just seems to be the ami build itself and that is successful. The distribution part of it to the other region / account is the failure.lg...

I have retrying to use EC2 Image Builder in a private subnet and image is failing to create with this error. I already created a VPC endpoint for image builder for my private subnet.

Hi There, I want to setup a golden image pipeline in my project for distributing custom Amazon AMIs to other teams. The requirement is to use 3rd party tools (like terrfaorm, packer etc.) and not just depend on cloud native tools to setup the golden image pipeline. What are the ways to achieve that and are there any specific tailor made products available to this in cloud? NOTE: The pipeline has to be hosted in AWS (sorry for stating the obvious!)lg...

I'm trying to make a custom Ubuntu 20.04 image from a .iso file that I have uploaded to Amazon S3. I've went through all the steps to create an image pipeline, but when I get to the end and hit create pipeline it just says `Error message: InvalidParameter: The service role role-name provided does not exist or does not have sufficient permissions`. I've made a role specifically for this pipeline, and even when I attach a policy that has all permissions to all resources I still get this error that says it doesn't have permission. Any help here?lg...

I need to run an earlier version of Visio in my AppStream. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-revert-to-an-earlier-version-of-office-2bd5c457-a917-d57e-35a1-f709e3dda841 Tells how to do this and I have successfully done it on my local system. When I attempt in ImageBuilder, it pretends to work but doesn't. Is there a way to do this?lg...

Hi. I have two EC2 instances running linux which I use as a web/database server and a mail server. I occasionally want to back-up both of these as AMI images. What I now do is "Stop Instance", then I select "Create Image". I then wait until the images have finished creating ( I watch the progress under Elastic Block Store>Snapshots). When the images show 100% completion, I start my instances again and my backup is finished. I would like to know, is it ok to start the EC2 instances up before the image creation is complete? I am trying to minimize my downtime, which currently is about 15 minutes.lg...

I have installed al2022-ami-2022.0.20220419.0-kernel-5.15-x86_64 on a m5.2x. I went to install a user cron and the crontab binary is missing. This is a default linux binary. The system cron seems to be fine (though I haven't tested it) but user crons are not working. ``` ec2-user $ crontab -l -bash: crontab: command not found ec2-user $ which crontab /usr/bin/which: no crontab in ... ec2-user $ ls /usr/bin/crontab ls: cannot access '/usr/bin/crontab': No such file or directory ``` This is fine in previous versions with the default install. Here it is with a default version of amzn2-ami-kernel-5.10-hvm-2.0.20220406.1-x86_64-gp2 also installed on an m5.2x ``` ec2-user $ which crontab /usr/bin/crontab ```lg...

Hello, I created my OVA file for my VM via VirtualBox and loaded it to S3. After importing it to Image Builder to create an AMI, I get the 'ClientError: Unsupported kernel version 5.10.0-10-amd64' error after some time during the import, the operation aborts. I selected the Amazon Linux 2 OS and I was under the impression that this OS was upgraded to 5.10 back in November 2021 per this post: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2021/11/amazon-linux-2-ami-kernel-5-10/ Can someone point out how this issue can be resolved? Or is there no solution at the moment to resolve this issue. Thanks for any feedback and let me know if you need any further information.lg...

Hi Team, After deleting the pipeline and all related dependencies, e.g. recipe/components/instances etc. I can't delete the image itself. There is the following error: "aws imagebuilder delete-image --image-build-version-arn arn:aws:imagebuilder:us-east-1:355181800198:image/test/1.0.0/1 An error occurred (ResourceDependencyException) when calling the DeleteImage operation: Resource dependency error: The resource ARN 'arn:aws:imagebuilder:us-east-1:355181800198:image/test/1.0.0/1' has a running workflow" From the AWS console, I can see that the version of the created image is still building. Considering the circumstances, it seems that it's an improper state and should be failed. Could you please help me with this? Thanks!lg...
