I've just checked in a fix to the regex. However, with that there is still a configuration issue in the given example. If the name AmazonLinux2-EKS-1.27 is used as it, you get the following validation error:

InvalidParameterValueException: The value supplied for parameter 'distributions[0].amiDistributionConfiguration.name' is not valid. The EC2 AMI name must contain '{{ imagebuilder:buildDate }}' to ensure that the name will be unique.

So the name needs to have {{ imagebuilder:buildDate }} in there, such as AmazonLinux2-EKS-1.27-{{ imagebuilder:buildDate }}, to make it unique for each build.

And according to the documentation:

The Output AMI name is optional. If you provide a name, the final output AMI name includes an appended timestamp of when the AMI is built. If you do not specify a name, Image Builder appends the build timestamp to the recipe name. This ensures unique AMI names for each build.

But it looks like if you are calling the API directly instead of the console, you'd need to add the build date variable yourself which seems to be the case here.

Correct, that is the way it behaves, and yes, we do have to add that string to the end. Sorry about leaving that out of the original issue, but thank you for understanding my intent anyway. :)
