Amazon EC2 Image Builder now supports automatic versioning for recipes and automatic build version incrementing for components, reducing the overhead of managing versions manually. This enables you to increment versions automatically and dynamically reference the latest compatible versions in your pipelines without manual updates.
With automatic versioning, you no longer need to manually track and increment version numbers when creating new versions of your recipes. You can simply place a single ‘x’ placeholder in any position of the version number, and Image Builder detects the latest existing version and automatically increments that position. For components, Image Builder automatically increments the build version when you create a component with the same name and semantic version. When referencing resources in your configurations, wildcard patterns automatically resolve to the highest available version matching the specified pattern, ensuring your pipelines always use the latest versions.
Auto-versioning is available in all AWS regions including AWS China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, AWS China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD, and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. You can get started from the EC2 Image Builder Console, CLI, API, CloudFormation, or CDK. Refer to documentation to learn more about recipes, components and semantic versioning.
