A step-by-step demo using Ubuntu Pro and AWS Image Builder.

In this video, we show how to create your own FIPS-enabled Ubuntu EKS image using EC2 Image Builder.

The demo walks through creating an image pipeline, defining a recipe, and selecting a custom Ubuntu Pro AMI using SSM Parameter Store to automatically pull the latest available image. The process includes enabling FIPS updates on an Ubuntu Pro machine, validating that FIPS is enabled, and testing that the system is running in FIPS mode.

The video also shows how to configure components, add them to the recipe, run the image pipeline, and verify that a new AMI has been successfully created. At the end, the resulting Ubuntu Pro EKS image is ready to be deployed using standard tools for FIPS-enabled clusters.
