These will be attached when booting a new instance from your AMI. Your options here may vary depending on the type of VM you use.

Example use case:

The following mapping will tell Packer to encrypt the root volume of the build instance at launch using a specific non-default kms key:

"[{
		"device_name": "/dev/sda1",
		"encrypted": true,
		"kms_key_id": "1a2b3c4d-5e6f-1a2b-3c4d-5e6f1a2b3c4d"
}]
