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.
This adds support for using amazon-ebs/amazon-instance builder without
a keypair. If a ssh_private_key_file is supplied without a
ssh_keypair_name no temporary ssh keypair is created. If ssh_password is
used no temporary ssh keypair is created and the password is used when
trying to connect.
Closes#2301Closes#3156
The refactor of StepRegisterAmi to add the from_scratch parameter
incorrectly replaced iteration over image.BlockDeviceMappings with
iteration over the new mapping array when not using from_scratch. This
fixes the regression and renames the parameters to newMappings and
mappings for better clarity.
This adds an additional PostMountCommands step to the amazon-chroot
builder which executes after the volume is mounted, but before the
extra chroot mounts and copy step.
This provides an alternate mode for the amazon-chroot builder which uses
a blank volume to build the image. It adds StepPreMountCommands to
permit partitioning and format commands to be executed before mounting
the new volume.
Fix: Use temporary_key_pair_name when specified.
This is to fix an issue where the temporary_key_pair_name configuration option
for amazon-ebs and amazon-instance builders would be ignored and replaced with
an automatically generated value using UUID, even when the option was explicitly
specified.
Remove space from the auto-generated SSH key-pair name.
Resolves#3736
This removes the unnecessary check for AMIs before cleaning up volumes.
AMIs will exist on a successful run, but not when a build fails after
instance creation (during provisioning for example). The following
check for instance being nil should be sufficient.
VpcId will be nil in Classic, but we may still wish to ssh to the
instance's private IP address -- if for example we are using security
groups to block SSH access via the public IP.
Related to #2979 , in volatile spot markets the automatic price can
cause your instances to be evicted if the spot price rises. This change
adds one half a cent to your bid to protect against small amounts of
price volatility.
