I'm curious about the possibility of automating the image creation process for the AppStream Image Builder using SSM hybrid activation. I've managed to register the image builder and got a managed instance ID from the CLI, but it isn't appearing on the console. Has anyone else tried this and can share their experience?

From my experience, the SSM agent affects the image snapshot process even if you remove it before taking the snapshot. It would be great if they could provide a 'user data' field like EC2 does for deploys. I’ve had to find workarounds with WinRM and Lambda to automate the image building process, and it’s odd that the agent causes such delays.
I ran into the same problem! For me, it turned out to be a mix of networking issues and timing. Make sure the SSM agent on your image builder has the necessary permissions to connect, whether through VPC endpoints or the internet. And ensure it's using the activation code before you create the image snapshot.
