                [--query QUERY]
                [--region REGION]
                [--rollback-on-failure ROLLBACK_ON_FAILURE]
                [--suppress-validators SUPPRESS_VALIDATORS [SUPPRESS_VALIDATORS ...]]

--image-id, -i IMAGE_ID

--rollback-on-failure ROLLBACK_ON_FAILURE

When true, automatically initiates an image stack rollback on failure. (Defaults to false.)

--suppress-validators SUPPRESS_VALIDATORS [SUPPRESS_VALIDATORS ...]

--validation-failure-level {INFO,WARNING,ERROR}

Specifies the minimum validation level that will cause the creation to fail. (Defaults to ERROR.)

Example using AWS ParallelCluster version 3.1.2:

$ pcluster build-image --image-configuration image-config.yaml --image-id custom-alinux2-image
{
  "image": {
    "imageId": "custom-alinux2-image",
    "imageBuildStatus": "BUILD_IN_PROGRESS",
    "cloudformationStackStatus": "CREATE_IN_PROGRESS",
    "cloudformationStackArn": "arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1:123456789012:stack/custom-alinux2-image/1234abcd-56ef-78gh-90ij-abcd1234efgh",
    "region": "us-east-1",
    "version": "3.1.2"
  }
}
Warning

pcluster build-image uses the default VPC. If the default VPC has been deleted, perhaps by using AWS Control Tower or AWS Landing Zone, then the subnet ID must be specified in the image configuration file. For more information, see SubnetId.
