As you'll see, with one simple change to the template above, it's
just as easy to create your own Windows 2008 or Windows 2016 AMIs. Just
set the value for the name field within `source_ami_filter` as required:
For Windows 2008 SP2:
```
"name": "*Windows_Server-2008-SP2*English-64Bit-Base*",
```
For Windows 2016:
```
"name": "*Windows_Server-2016-English-Full-Base*",
```
The bootstrapping and sample provisioning should work the same across all
Windows server versions.
