2.5. Optional build command arguments

The -t flag will give your automation execution environment image a specific name. For example, the following command will build an image named my_first_ee_image:

ansible-builder build -t my_first_ee_image

$ ansible-builder build -t my_first_ee_image

If you have multiple definition files, you can specify which one to use by utilizing the -f flag:

ansible-builder build -f another-definition-file.yml -t another_ee_image

$ ansible-builder build -f another-definition-file.yml -t another_ee_image

In the example above, Ansible Builder will use the specifications provided in the file another-definition-file.yml instead of the default execution-environment.yml to build an automation execution environment image named another_ee_image.

For other specifications and flags that are possible to use with the build command, enter ansible-builder build --help to see a list of additional options.
