For everyone else, let’s make custom images for AWS
It seems very simple: build an image, export the image, and import the image (wash, rinse, and repeat). The concept isn’t much more complicated than that. However, there are steps to go through, and some of those steps have catches.
You’ll first have to walk through the steps of setting up and configuring the AWS CLI. Much like the OCI CLI, AWS’s CLI is a direct command line executing against the AWS API. After the CLI is installed and configured, we’ll walk through setting up an S3 bucket, configuring that bucket, and changing access to allow upload. The following figure shows the stages and their touchpoints throughout this recipe. The AWS CLI is the common thread in staging and executing, along with the GUI. The storage factors in AWS are managed by access control and authentication, which allow us to create, store, and manipulate stored objects and buckets.
