Easyto builds an EC2 AMI from a container image. It creates a temporary EC2 AMI build instance with an EBS volume attached. The EBS volume is partitioned and formatted, and the container image layers are written to the main partition. Then a Linux kernel, bootloader, and custom init and utilities are added. The EBS volume is then snapshotted and an AMI is created from it.
