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
Took some digging to realize that `iso_url` can actually take in a qcow2 or img format. This is fantastic and works great out of the box. I feel like adding the extra 2 lines of docs will help future users looking for this.
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
In the suggested policy `ec2:CopyImage` was listed twice.
I've also sorted alphabetically to make it easier for somebody who might be recreating the policy in the AWS gui to follow along more easily.
It didn't indicate its unit of size (GB), the default value was not
indicated, the fact that it ignores the user-given size when it is
smaller than the source AMI's snapshot size, and the fact that the
value is required when `from_scratch` is `true` all needed to be added.
Without the "ec2:DescribeSecurityGroups" permission, you would get the following error:

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.
