associate_public_ip_address (bool) - If using a non-default VPC, public IP addresses are not provided by default. If this is true, your new instance will get a Public IP. default: false
availability_zone (string) - Destination availability zone to launch instance in. Leave this empty to allow Amazon to auto-assign.
block_duration_minutes (int64) - Requires spot_price to be set. The required duration for the Spot Instances (also known as Spot blocks). This value must be a multiple of 60 (60, 120, 180, 240, 300, or 360). You can't specify an Availability Zone group or a launch group if you specify a duration.
disable_stop_instance (bool) - Packer normally stops the build instance after all provisioners have run. For Windows instances, it is sometimes desirable to run Sysprep which will stop the instance for you. If this is set to true, Packer will not stop the instance but will assume that you will send the stop signal yourself through your final provisioner. You can do this with a windows-shell provisioner. Note that Packer will still wait for the instance to be stopped, and failing to send the stop signal yourself, when you have set this flag to true, will cause a timeout. Example of a valid shutdown command:
```
{
  "type": "windows-shell",
  "inline": ["\"c:\\Program Files\\Amazon\\Ec2ConfigService\\ec2config.exe\" -sysprep"]
}
```
ebs_optimized (bool) - Mark instance as EBS Optimized. Default false.
enable_t2_unlimited (bool) - Enabling T2 Unlimited allows the source instance to burst additional CPU beyond its available CPU Credits for as long as the demand exists. This is in contrast to the standard configuration that only allows an instance to consume up to its available CPU Credits. See the AWS documentation for T2 Unlimited and the T2 Unlimited Pricing section of the Amazon EC2 On-Demand Pricing document for more information. By default this option is disabled and Packer will set up a T2 Standard instance instead.

To use T2 Unlimited you must use a T2 instance type, e.g. t2.micro. Additionally, T2 Unlimited cannot be used in conjunction with Spot Instances, e.g. when the spot_price option has been configured. Attempting to do so will cause an error.

!> Warning! Additional costs may be incurred by enabling T2 Unlimited - even for instances that would usually qualify for the AWS Free Tier.
iam_instance_profile (string) - The name of an IAM instance profile to launch the EC2 instance with.
skip_profile_validation (bool) - Whether or not to check if the IAM instance profile exists. Defaults to false
temporary_iam_instance_profile_policy_document (*PolicyDocument) - Temporary IAM instance profile policy document If IamInstanceProfile is specified it will be used instead. Example:
```
{
	"Version": "2012-10-17",
	"Statement": [
		{
			"Action": [
			"logs:*"
			],
			"Effect": "Allow",
			"Resource": "*"
		}
	]
}
```
shutdown_behavior (string) - Automatically terminate instances on shutdown in case Packer exits ungracefully. Possible values are stop and terminate. Defaults to stop.
security_group_filter (SecurityGroupFilterOptions) - Filters used to populate the security_group_ids field. Example:
```
{
  "security_group_filter": {
    "filters": {
      "tag:Class": "packer"
    }
  }
}
```
This selects the SG's with tag Class with the value packer.
- filters (map of strings) - filters used to select a security_group_ids. Any filter described in the docs for DescribeSecurityGroups is valid.
security_group_ids take precedence over this.
run_tags (map[string]string) - Tags to apply to the instance that is that is launched to create the EBS volumes. This is a template engine, see Build template data for more information.
security_group_id (string) - The ID (not the name) of the security group to assign to the instance. By default this is not set and Packer will automatically create a new temporary security group to allow SSH access. Note that if this is specified, you must be sure the security group allows access to the ssh_port given below.
security_group_ids ([]string) - A list of security groups as described above. Note that if this is specified, you must omit the security_group_id.
source_ami_filter (AmiFilterOptions) - Filters used to populate the source_ami field. Example:
```
{
  "source_ami_filter": {
    "filters": {
      "virtualization-type": "hvm",
      "name": "ubuntu/images/\*ubuntu-xenial-16.04-amd64-server-\*",
      "root-device-type": "ebs"
    },
    "owners": ["099720109477"],
    "most_recent": true
  }
}
```
This selects the most recent Ubuntu 16.04 HVM EBS AMI from Canonical. NOTE: This will fail unless exactly one AMI is returned. In the above example, most_recent will cause this to succeed by selecting the newest image.
- filters (map of strings) - filters used to select a source_ami. NOTE: This will fail unless exactly one AMI is returned. Any filter described in the docs for DescribeImages is valid.
- owners (array of strings) - Filters the images by their owner. You may specify one or more AWS account IDs, "self" (which will use the account whose credentials you are using to run Packer), or an AWS owner alias: for example, amazon, aws-marketplace, or microsoft. This option is required for security reasons.
- most_recent (boolean) - Selects the newest created image when true. This is most useful for selecting a daily distro build.
You may set this in place of source_ami or in conjunction with it. If you set this in conjunction with source_ami, the source_ami will be added to the filter. The provided source_ami must meet all of the filtering criteria provided in source_ami_filter; this pins the AMI returned by the filter, but will cause Packer to fail if the source_ami does not exist.
spot_instance_types ([]string) - a list of acceptable instance types to run your build on. We will request a spot instance using the max price of spot_price and the allocation strategy of "lowest price". Your instance will be launched on an instance type of the lowest available price that you have in your list. This is used in place of instance_type. You may only set either spot_instance_types or instance_type, not both. This feature exists to help prevent situations where a Packer build fails because a particular availability zone does not have capacity for the specific instance_type requested in instance_type.
spot_price (string) - The maximum hourly price to pay for a spot instance to create the AMI. Spot instances are a type of instance that EC2 starts when the current spot price is less than the maximum price you specify. Spot price will be updated based on available spot instance capacity and current spot instance requests. It may save you some costs. You can set this to auto for Packer to automatically discover the best spot price or to "0" to use an on demand instance (default).
spot_price_auto_product (string) - Required if spot_price is set to auto. This tells Packer what sort of AMI you're launching to find the best spot price. This must be one of: Linux/UNIX, SUSE Linux, Windows, Linux/UNIX (Amazon VPC), SUSE Linux (Amazon VPC), Windows (Amazon VPC)
spot_tags (map[string]string) - Requires spot_price to be set. This tells Packer to apply tags to the spot request that is issued.
subnet_filter (SubnetFilterOptions) - Filters used to populate the subnet_id field. Example:
```
{
  "subnet_filter": {
    "filters": {
      "tag:Class": "build"
    },
    "most_free": true,
    "random": false
  }
}
```
This selects the Subnet with tag Class with the value build, which has the most free IP addresses. NOTE: This will fail unless exactly one Subnet is returned. By using most_free or random one will be selected from those matching the filter.
- filters (map of strings) - filters used to select a subnet_id. NOTE: This will fail unless exactly one Subnet is returned. Any filter described in the docs for DescribeSubnets is valid.
- most_free (boolean) - The Subnet with the most free IPv4 addresses will be used if multiple Subnets matches the filter.
- random (boolean) - A random Subnet will be used if multiple Subnets matches the filter. most_free have precendence over this.
subnet_id take precedence over this.
subnet_id (string) - If using VPC, the ID of the subnet, such as subnet-12345def, where Packer will launch the EC2 instance. This field is required if you are using an non-default VPC.
temporary_key_pair_name (string) - The name of the temporary key pair to generate. By default, Packer generates a name that looks like packer_<UUID>, where <UUID> is a 36 character unique identifier.
temporary_security_group_source_cidrs ([]string) - A list of IPv4 CIDR blocks to be authorized access to the instance, when packer is creating a temporary security group.

The default is [0.0.0.0/0] (i.e., allow any IPv4 source). This is only used when security_group_id or security_group_ids is not specified.
user_data (string) - User data to apply when launching the instance. Note that you need to be careful about escaping characters due to the templates being JSON. It is often more convenient to use user_data_file, instead. Packer will not automatically wait for a user script to finish before shutting down the instance this must be handled in a provisioner.
user_data_file (string) - Path to a file that will be used for the user data when launching the instance.
vpc_filter (VpcFilterOptions) - Filters used to populate the vpc_id field. Example:
```
{
  "vpc_filter": {
    "filters": {
      "tag:Class": "build",
      "isDefault": "false",
      "cidr": "/24"
    }
  }
}
```
This selects the VPC with tag Class with the value build, which is not the default VPC, and have a IPv4 CIDR block of /24. NOTE: This will fail unless exactly one VPC is returned.
- filters (map of strings) - filters used to select a vpc_id. NOTE: This will fail unless exactly one VPC is returned. Any filter described in the docs for DescribeVpcs is valid.
vpc_id take precedence over this.
vpc_id (string) - If launching into a VPC subnet, Packer needs the VPC ID in order to create a temporary security group within the VPC. Requires subnet_id to be set. If this field is left blank, Packer will try to get the VPC ID from the subnet_id.
windows_password_timeout (duration string | ex: "1h5m2s") - The timeout for waiting for a Windows password for Windows instances. Defaults to 20 minutes. Example value: 10m
ssh_interface (string) - One of public_ip, private_ip, public_dns, or private_dns. If set, either the public IP address, private IP address, public DNS name or private DNS name will be used as the host for SSH. The default behaviour if inside a VPC is to use the public IP address if available, otherwise the private IP address will be used. If not in a VPC the public DNS name will be used. Also works for WinRM.

Where Packer is configured for an outbound proxy but WinRM traffic should be direct, ssh_interface must be set to private_dns and <region>.compute.internal included in the NO_PROXY environment variable.
