Research direction

Start with the linked Elastic Beanstalk custom-environment documentation and trace the described flow from a Beanstalk Windows 2016 or 2019 AMI through EC2 Image Builder. Define completion as supporting those AWS-provided Windows AMIs as custom image sources while accounting for the stated SSM Agent prerequisite.
