AWS EC2 Image Builder Lifecycle Policy - when does it run?

Question

Is there any information available on when a "Lifecycle Policy" is run within AWS EC2 Image Builder?

I created a lifecycle policy for my recipies and started a lot of Image builds.

Nothing is hapenning in the lifecycle policy, no aciton log. Should it be run after images builds? Does it run on a schedule?

Answer 1

Lifecycle Policy runs once per day - in our case it starts at 09:29 UTC each day which happens to be early evening local time.

I do not believe the user can configure its schedule - it just runs at the whim of Amazon once per day.
