Amazon AMI Builder

Packer is able to create Amazon AMIs. To achieve this, Packer comes with multiple builders depending on the strategy you want to use to build the AMI. Packer supports the following builders at the moment:

  • amazon-ebs - Create EBS-backed AMIs by launching a source instance and re-packaging it into a new AMI after provisioning. If in doubt, use this builder, which is the easiest to get started with.

  • amazon-instance - Create instance-store AMIs by launching and provisioning a source instance, then rebundling it and uploading it to S3.

Don't know which builder to use? If in doubt, use the amazon-ebs builder. It is much easier to use and Amazon generally recommends EBS-backed images nowadays.
