Details

From the project README

Creating an EC2 Image Builder Pipeline

Overview

Domain expertise for creating and managing EC2 Image Builder pipelines that automate custom AMI creation. Covers the full lifecycle: IAM role setup, build component definition, image recipe creation, infrastructure and distribution configuration, pipeline execution, and launch template creation.

Create an Image Builder pipeline

To create a complete EC2 Image Builder pipeline with custom AMI builds and cross-region distribution, follow the procedure exactly. See EC2 Image Builder pipeline procedure.

Troubleshooting

InvalidParameterValueException on pipeline operations

Use the exact ARN returned by API calls — do not construct ARNs manually. Pipeline ARNs must follow arn:<partition>:imagebuilder:<region>:<account>:image-pipeline/<name>.

InstanceProfileNotFoundException

Wait 10–15 seconds after creating the instance profile before using it. IAM changes are eventually consistent.

ResourceAlreadyExistsException

Delete the existing resource first or use a different name/version.

Build instance fails to launch

Verify the instance profile exists, all three IAM policies are attached, and the instance type is available in the region.

Develop and host Miaoda (Spark/Miaoda) apps: app creation, local full-stack development, cloud generation and iteration, creative design (UI mockups / interactive prototypes / wireframes / landing pages / dashboards / slide decks / visual exploration), integration of AI-related capabilities, Feishu platform capabilities, or other external capabilities; log/Trace/monitoring metric/PV/UV queries; environment variable management; app collaborators and collaboration permissions; app roles and members; and automation triggers (scheduled / record changes / Webhook / Feishu approvals). Use when users want to develop or create a system, tool, platform, or app; develop locally or in the cloud, modify, deploy, publish, launch, or get a shareable link; create a page or website with HTML and deploy it to Miaoda; design, create a mockup, prototype, wireframe, PPT, deck, or visual exploration; or mention Miaoda/Spark/Miaoda apps (links like `/app/app_xxx` or `/page/<token>`, runtime domains like *.aiforce.cloud), app databases, app file storage, open API Keys, visibility, app collaborators/developer permissions, app roles/role members, production logs, API request volume, error volume, latency, traffic, environment variables, or setting up automation tasks, scheduled triggers, or approval-triggered automation for Miaoda apps. Not for regular cloud drive file uploads (lark-drive), Feishu document editing (lark-doc), or native slide creation (lark-slides).

Prepare azd-based Azure projects for deployment: generates azure.yaml, infrastructure (Bicep/Terraform), and Dockerfiles for the Azure Developer CLI (azd) workflow. USE ONLY when the user explicitly wants to use azd as the deployment tool, or the project already has an azure.yaml file. DO NOT USE FOR: non-azd deployments, Python App Service code-only deploys (use python-appservice-deploy), or cross-cloud migration (use azure-cloud-migrate). WHEN: prepare app for azd, create azure.yaml, set up azd infrastructure, modernize app for Azure with azd, deploy with azd, function app, timer trigger, service bus trigger, event-driven function, managed identity, generate Bicep, generate Terraform, create and deploy to Azure.

Generate an interactive bash wizard that walks a human through steps only they can perform. Use when provisioning infrastructure, setting up credentials or CI secrets, walking an unfamiliar third-party dashboard, or running a one-off migration or cutover. Don't invoke this for steps the agent can perform itself.
