Before you can configure an image, a builder must be available. The builder defines where the image will be created.

Click add to create a new builder for your account.

In the next step, you can choose the type of builder you want to use.

Declare a Name for the builder, which could be for example a name like “Amazon, Account-Id, eu-central-1, M5” or “Amazon EBS Builder for West Europe”.
