JetBrains has released an AWS Image Builder plugin for TeamCity that automates the maintenance of AMI-based cloud build agents. Instead of manually spinning up instances, installing updates, and creating snapshots, teams can configure a dedicated TeamCity build configuration using the plugin's 'Image Builder AWS AMI' build step. The plugin handles baking the TeamCity agent directly into the AMI (ensuring version parity with the server), running custom setup scripts, and pre-populating Git object mirrors to speed up checkouts. Cloud profiles can be configured to select AMIs by tags rather than fixed IDs, so TeamCity automatically picks the latest image after each builder run. Kotlin DSL configuration is also supported.
