Answer: Use EC2 Image Builder with a custom recipe to install the application and its dependencies.
EC2 Image Builder simplifies the creation, maintenance, validation, sharing, and deployment of Linux or Windows Server images for use on Amazon EC2 and on-premises. It provides an automated pipeline that can run vulnerability scans (e.g., via Amazon Inspector) and use custom recipes, making it the most operationally efficient choice.
