# aws-cdk.aws-imagebuilder — The CDK Construct Library for AWS::ImageBuilder

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 103.8K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This package is an AWS CDK v1 construct library that wraps AWS ImageBuilder CloudFormation resources, allowing you to define image-building pipelines, recipes, and configurations in Python code. It provides L1 (low-level, auto-generated) constructs that map directly to CloudFormation's AWS::ImageBuilder resource types, with no hand-written higher-level abstractions.

The package is no longer maintained—AWS CDK v1 reached end-of-support on 2023-06-01. While the code remains functional and has no known security vulnerabilities, new projects should use AWS CDK v2 instead. Existing v1 users can still install and use it, but should plan a migration to v2 to receive ongoing updates and support.

Use it for:

- Define AWS ImageBuilder image pipelines and recipes as CDK v1 infrastructure code for teams already committed to CDK v1.
- Migrate legacy CDK v1 projects that depend on ImageBuilder constructs (as a temporary measure before upgrading to v2).
- Use L1 constructs to access ImageBuilder CloudFormation features not yet wrapped by higher-level CDK abstractions.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides AWS CDK L1 constructs for defining and managing AWS ImageBuilder resources (image pipelines, recipes, and infrastructure configurations) as infrastructure-as-code.

No, unless you are maintaining an existing AWS CDK v1 project that already depends on this package. AWS CDK v1 is end-of-support as of 2023-06-01 and this module is no longer being updated. New projects should use AWS CDK v2 instead. If you are on v1, plan a migration rather than starting new work with this package.

## Install

pip install aws-cdk-aws-imagebuilder
uv add aws-cdk-aws-imagebuilder
poetry add aws-cdk-aws-imagebuilder

## Installing aws-cdk.aws-imagebuilder

Before you install: Low install friction, but the package is no longer maintained—AWS CDK v1 reached end-of-support on 2023-06-01 and this module has not been updated since. Users should plan migration to AWS CDK v2.

License in practice: Licensed under Apache-2.0 (permissive), allowing use in commercial and open-source projects with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart:

pip install aws-cdk.aws-imagebuilder

import aws_cdk.aws_imagebuilder as imagebuilder

# Use L1 constructs directly, as documented in CloudFormation AWS::ImageBuilder resources

Requires Python 3.7 or later. AWS CDK v1 is end-of-support as of 2023-06-01; new projects should use AWS CDK v2 instead.

Verify before relying:

- Whether existing CDK v1 projects can safely remain on this package long-term or face breaking changes.
- Availability and effort required for migration path from v1 constructs to v2 equivalents.
