<a name="container-image-pipelines"></a>

You can set up, configure, and manage container image pipelines using the Image Builder console, through the Image Builder API, or with **imagebuilder** commands in the Amazon CLI. The **Create image pipeline** console wizard provides starting artifacts, and guides you through steps to:
+ Select a base image from quick-start managed images, Amazon ECR, or Docker Hub repositories
+ Add and remove software
+ Customize settings and scripts
+ Run selected tests
+ Create a Dockerfile using pre-configured build-time variables.
+ Distribute images to Amazon Regions
