EC2 Image Builder now supports Apple macOS operating system, allowing customers to use macOS as base images for their image pipelines. This capability enables customers to create and manage custom macOS images with the same ease as they do today for supported Windows and Linux distributions.
Previously, customers had to manually build their up-to-date macOS images or rely on separate tools, leading to a fragmented image management experience. Now, customers can simply use a macOS image in EC2 Image Builder, customize the image, and easily distribute it to required AWS accounts and regions. EC2 Image Builder supports latest x86 and ARM64 macOS images available for EC2 Mac instances. It provides automatic updates to the latest macOS versions, allowing customers to stay up-to-date and easily move to the latest version of macOS. This addition of macOS operating system enables customers to consolidate their image management processes within EC2 Image Builder.
EC2 Image Builder provides these managed images at no additional cost to the customers. Apple macOS managed images are available in all AWS regions that supports EC2 Mac instances. To view the EC2 instance type availability by region, customers can visit the documentation [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ec2/latest/instancetypes/ec2-instance-regions.html).
For more information on the supported operating systems in EC2 Image Builder, customers can visit [EC2 Image Builder documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/imagebuilder/latest/userguide/what-is-image-builder.html#image-builder-os). Customers can get started from the EC2 Image Builder Console, CLI, API, CloudFormation, or CDK, and learn more in the EC2 Image Builder [documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/imagebuilder/latest/userguide/what-is-image-builder.html).
