EC2 Image Builder enhances lifecycle policies with wildcard support and simplified IAM

EC2 Image Builder Updates

• Simplified IAM Role Creation: Create IAM roles with pre-populated default permissions directly from the console.

What to do

• Update your lifecycle policies to use wildcard patterns for better scalability.
• Take advantage of the simplified IAM role creation process to reduce setup time.
