**Tell us about your request**
What do you want us to build?
We deploying all EC2 Image Builder resources using [AWS CloudFormation templates](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/AWS_ImageBuilder.html). Once we like to deploy a subsequent stack-update we must check the drift status for this stack before doing such change (e.g. to avoid issues by changes outside of CloudFormation).

**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
As per [AWS CloudFormation docs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/resource-import-supported-resources.html), mostly all of the EC2 Image Builder resources are not supported resource for drift detection. Hence, we are currently not able to run CloudFormation drift detection and check for drifts via AWS Console or via AWS API.

**Are you currently working around this issue?**
There is no known workaround at the moment available.

**Additional context**
We opened a github issue with CloudFormation Team/Roadmap-Repo: https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cloudformation-coverage-roadmap/issues/1548

Research direction

Start with the AWS CloudFormation drift detection documentation and the linked CloudFormation coverage-roadmap issue 1548. Determine which AWS::ImageBuilder::* resources need support and whether this roadmap repository has an implementation entry point. Done means those resources can be checked for drift through the CloudFormation console and API.
