Canonical publishes stable AMIs at ubuntu/images/ and unstable AMIs at
ubuntu/images-testing/. Combined with most_recent: true, the old name
filter bounces you between stable and unstable.
In AWS we can derive the `VpcId` and AZ from the `SubnetId`, so now we do. In the config you can now only specify the `SubnetId`.
This fixes issue #4693.
This PR adds the ability for Packer to clean up snapshots in addition to
deregistering AMIs at build time.
To test this, I used the following `test.json` file:
```json
{
"builders": [
{
"type": "amazon-ebs",
"region": "us-east-1",
"source_ami": "ami-fce3c696",
"ami_name": "packer-test",
"instance_type": "m3.medium",
"ssh_username": "ubuntu",
"vpc_id": "some-vpc-id",
"subnet_id": "some-subnet-routed-through-igw",
"security_group_id": "some-security-group-with-port-22-access",
"force_delete_snapshot": true
}
],
"provisioners": [
{
"type": "shell-local",
"command": "echo 'hello'"
}
]
}
```
I appreciate any constructive feedbakc that can be given. Cheers!
Since the packer website isn't yet ready to use middleman partials,
this commit rolls back the partials in favor of bringing parity to
each amazon docs page
This commit adds the ability to configure unique tags on snapshots
that are separate from the tags defined on the AMI. Anything applied
to the AMI will also be applied to the snapshots, but `snapshot_tags`
will override and append tags to the tags already applied to the snapshots
This commit adds an option to use the local SSH Agent to authenticate
connections to source instances started by the the EBS and Instance
Store builders.
This is of use when the source AMI _already_ has configuration for
authorized SSH keys - for example if one uses an SSH certificate
authority.
A further extension (not implemented in this commit) is to allow SSH
agent use with a pre-defined key pair, in order to allow keys with
passphrases to be used without giving the passphrase to Packer.
