# EBS Surrogate Builder
Type: `amazon-ebssurrogate`
The `amazon-ebssurrogate` Packer builder is able to create Amazon AMIs by
running a source instance with an attached volume, provisioning the attached
volume in such a way that it can be used as the root volume for the AMI, and
then snapshotting and creating the AMI from that volume.
This builder can therefore be used to bootstrap scratch-build images - for
example FreeBSD or Ubuntu using ZFS as the root file system.
This is all done in your own AWS account. The builder will create temporary key
pairs, security group rules, etc. that provide it temporary access to the
instance while the image is being created.
## Configuration Reference
There are many configuration options available for the builder. They are
segmented below into two categories: required and optional parameters. Within
each category, the available configuration keys are alphabetized.
In addition to the options listed here, a
[communicator](/docs/templates/communicator.html) can be configured for this
builder.
### Required:
- `access_key` (string) - The access key used to communicate with AWS. [Learn
how to set this.](/docs/builders/amazon.html#specifying-amazon-credentials)
- `instance_type` (string) - The EC2 instance type to use while building the
AMI, such as `m1.small`.
- `region` (string) - The name of the region, such as `us-east-1`, in which to
launch the EC2 instance to create the AMI.
- `secret_key` (string) - The secret key used to communicate with AWS. [Learn
how to set this.](/docs/builders/amazon.html#specifying-amazon-credentials)
- `source_ami` (string) - The initial AMI used as a base for the newly
created machine. `source_ami_filter` may be used instead to populate this
automatically.
- `ami_root_device` (block device mapping) - A block device mapping describing
the root device of the AMI. This looks like the mappings in `ami_block_device_mapping`,
except with an additional field:
- `source_device_name` (string) - The device name of the block device on the
source instance to be used as the root device for the AMI. This must correspond
to a block device in `launch_block_device_mapping`.
### Optional:
- `ami_block_device_mappings` (array of block device mappings) - Add one or
more [block device mappings](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/block-device-mapping-concepts.html)
to the AMI. These will be attached when booting a new instance from your
AMI. To add a block device during the packer build see
`launch_block_device_mappings` below. Your options here may vary depending
on the type of VM you use. The block device mappings allow for the following
configuration:
- `delete_on_termination` (boolean) - Indicates whether the EBS volume is
deleted on instance termination. Default `false`. **NOTE**: If this
value is not explicitly set to `true` and volumes are not cleaned up by
an alternative method, additional volumes will accumulate after
every build.
- `device_name` (string) - The device name exposed to the instance (for
example, `/dev/sdh` or `xvdh`). Required when specifying `volume_size`.
- `encrypted` (boolean) - Indicates whether to encrypt the volume or not
- `iops` (integer) - The number of I/O operations per second (IOPS) that the
volume supports. See the documentation on
[IOPs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_EbsBlockDevice.html)
for more information
- `no_device` (boolean) - Suppresses the specified device included in the
block device mapping of the AMI
- `snapshot_id` (string) - The ID of the snapshot
- `virtual_name` (string) - The virtual device name. See the documentation on
[Block Device
Mapping](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_BlockDeviceMapping.html)
for more information
- `volume_size` (integer) - The size of the volume, in GiB. Required if not
specifying a `snapshot_id`
- `volume_type` (string) - The volume type. `gp2` for General Purpose (SSD)
volumes, `io1` for Provisioned IOPS (SSD) volumes, and `standard` for Magnetic
volumes
- `ami_description` (string) - The description to set for the
resulting AMI(s). By default this description is empty. This is a
[template engine](/docs/templates/engine.html)
where the `SourceAMI` variable is replaced with the source AMI ID and
`BuildRegion` variable is replaced with the value of `region`.
- `ami_groups` (array of strings) - A list of groups that have access to
launch the resulting AMI(s). By default no groups have permission to launch
the AMI. `all` will make the AMI publicly accessible. AWS currently doesn't
accept any value other than `all`.
- `ami_product_codes` (array of strings) - A list of product codes to
associate with the AMI. By default no product codes are associated with
the AMI.
- `ami_regions` (array of strings) - A list of regions to copy the AMI to.
Tags and attributes are copied along with the AMI. AMI copying takes time
depending on the size of the AMI, but will generally take many minutes.
- `ami_users` (array of strings) - A list of account IDs that have access to
launch the resulting AMI(s). By default no additional users other than the
user creating the AMI has permissions to launch it.
- `ami_virtualization_type` (string) - The type of virtualization for the AMI
you are building. This option must match the supported virtualization
type of `source_ami`. Can be `paravirtual` or `hvm`.
- `associate_public_ip_address` (boolean) - If using a non-default VPC, public
IP addresses are not provided by default. If this is toggled, your new
instance will get a Public IP.
- `availability_zone` (string) - Destination availability zone to launch
instance in. Leave this empty to allow Amazon to auto-assign.
- `custom_endpoint_ec2` (string) - this option is useful if you use
another cloud provider that provide a compatible API with aws EC2,
specify another endpoint like this "<https://ec2.another.endpoint>..com"
- `disable_stop_instance` (boolean) - Packer normally stops the build instance
after all provisioners have run. For Windows instances, it is sometimes
desirable to [run Sysprep](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/ami-create-standard.html)
which will stop the instance for you. If this is set to true, Packer *will not*
stop the instance and will wait for you to stop it manually. You can do this
with a [windows-shell provisioner](https://www.packer.io/docs/provisioners/windows-shell.html).
``` json
{
"type": "windows-shell",
"inline": ["\"c:\\Program Files\\Amazon\\Ec2ConfigService\\ec2config.exe\" -sysprep"]
}
```
- `ebs_optimized` (boolean) - Mark instance as [EBS
Optimized](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSOptimized.html).
Default `false`.
- `enhanced_networking` (boolean) - Enable enhanced
networking (SriovNetSupport and ENA) on HVM-compatible AMIs. If true, add
`ec2:ModifyInstanceAttribute` to your AWS IAM policy. Note: you must make
sure enhanced networking is enabled on your instance. See [Amazon's
documentation on enabling enhanced networking](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/enhanced-networking.html#enabling_enhanced_networking)
- `force_deregister` (boolean) - Force Packer to first deregister an existing
AMI if one with the same name already exists. Default `false`.
- `force_delete_snapshot` (boolean) - Force Packer to delete snapshots associated with
AMIs, which have been deregistered by `force_deregister`. Default `false`.
- `encrypt_boot` (boolean) - Instruct packer to automatically create a copy of the
AMI with an encrypted boot volume (discarding the initial unencrypted AMI in the
process). Packer will always run this operation, even if the base
AMI has an encrypted boot volume to start with. Default `false`.
- `kms_key_id` (string) - The ID of the KMS key to use for boot volume encryption.
This only applies to the main `region`, other regions where the AMI will be copied
will be encrypted by the default EBS KMS key.
- `iam_instance_profile` (string) - The name of an [IAM instance
profile](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/instance-profiles.html)
to launch the EC2 instance with.
- `launch_block_device_mappings` (array of block device mappings) - Add one or
more block devices before the packer build starts. These are not necessarily
preserved when booting from the AMI built with packer. See
`ami_block_device_mappings`, above, for details.
- `mfa_code` (string) - The MFA [TOTP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-time_Password_Algorithm)
code. This should probably be a user variable since it changes all the time.
- `profile` (string) - The profile to use in the shared credentials file for
AWS. See Amazon's documentation on [specifying
profiles](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/v1/developer-guide/configuring-sdk.html#specifying-profiles)
for more details.
- `region_kms_key_ids` (map of strings) - a map of regions to copy the ami to,
along with the custom kms key id to use for encryption for that region.
Keys must match the regions provided in `ami_regions`. If you just want to
encrypt using a default ID, you can stick with `kms_key_id` and `ami_regions`.
If you want a region to be encrypted with that region's default key ID, you can
use an empty string `""` instead of a key id in this map. (e.g. `"us-east-1": ""`)
However, you cannot use default key IDs if you are using this in conjunction with
`snapshot_users` -- in that situation you must use custom keys.
- `run_tags` (object of key/value strings) - Tags to apply to the instance
that is *launched* to create the AMI. These tags are *not* applied to the
resulting AMI unless they're duplicated in `tags`. This is a
[template engine](/docs/templates/engine.html)
where the `SourceAMI` variable is replaced with the source AMI ID and
`BuildRegion` variable is replaced with the value of `region`.
- `run_volume_tags` (object of key/value strings) - Tags to apply to the volumes
that are *launched* to create the AMI. These tags are *not* applied to the
resulting AMI unless they're duplicated in `tags`. This is a
[template engine](/docs/templates/engine.html)
where the `SourceAMI` variable is replaced with the source AMI ID and
`BuildRegion` variable is replaced with the value of `region`.
- `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` (array of strings) - A list of security groups as
described above. Note that if this is specified, you must omit the
`security_group_id`.
- `shutdown_behavior` (string) - Automatically terminate instances on shutdown
incase packer exits ungracefully. Possible values are "stop" and "terminate",
default is `stop`.
- `skip_region_validation` (boolean) - Set to true if you want to skip
validation of the region configuration option. Default `false`.
- `snapshot_groups` (array of strings) - A list of groups that have access to
create volumes from the snapshot(s). By default no groups have permission to create
volumes form the snapshot(s). `all` will make the snapshot publicly accessible.
- `snapshot_users` (array of strings) - A list of account IDs that have access to
create volumes from the snapshot(s). By default no additional users other than the
user creating the AMI has permissions to create volumes from the backing snapshot(s).
- `snapshot_tags` (object of key/value strings) - Tags to apply to snapshot.
They will override AMI tags if already applied to snapshot. This is a
[template engine](/docs/templates/engine.html)
where the `SourceAMI` variable is replaced with the source AMI ID and
`BuildRegion` variable is replaced with the value of `region`.
- `source_ami_filter` (object) - Filters used to populate the `source_ami` field.
Example:
``` json
{
"source_ami_filter": {
"filters": {
"virtualization-type": "hvm",
"name": "*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](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeImages.html)
is valid.
- `owners` (array of strings) - This scopes the AMIs to certain Amazon account IDs.
This is helpful to limit the AMIs to a trusted third party, or to your own account.
- `most_recent` (bool) - Selects the newest created image when true.
This is most useful for selecting a daily distro build.
- `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)`
- `ssh_keypair_name` (string) - If specified, this is the key that will be
used for SSH with the machine. The key must match a key pair name loaded
up into Amazon EC2. By default, this is blank, and Packer will
generate a temporary keypair unless
[`ssh_password`](/docs/templates/communicator.html#ssh_password) is used.
[`ssh_private_key_file`](/docs/templates/communicator.html#ssh_private_key_file)
or `ssh_agent_auth` must be specified when `ssh_keypair_name` is utilized.
- `ssh_agent_auth` (boolean) - If true, the local SSH agent will be used to
authenticate connections to the source instance. No temporary keypair will
be created, and the values of `ssh_password` and `ssh_private_key_file` will
be ignored. To use this option with a key pair already configured in the source
AMI, leave the `ssh_keypair_name` blank. To associate an existing key pair
in AWS with the source instance, set the `ssh_keypair_name` field to the name
of the key pair.
- `ssh_private_ip` (boolean) - If true, then SSH will always use the private
IP if available.
- `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.
- `tags` (object of key/value strings) - Tags applied to the AMI and
relevant snapshots. This is a
[template engine](/docs/templates/engine.html)
where the `SourceAMI` variable is replaced with the source AMI ID and
`BuildRegion` variable is replaced with the value of `region`.
- `temporary_key_pair_name` (string) - The name of the temporary keypair
to generate. By default, Packer generates a name with a UUID.
- `token` (string) - The access token to use. This is different from the
access key and secret key. If you're not sure what this is, then you
probably don't need it. This will also be read from the `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN`
environmental variable.
- `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.
- `user_data_file` (string) - Path to a file that will be used for the user
data when launching the instance.
- `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` (string) - The timeout for waiting for a Windows
password for Windows instances. Defaults to 20 minutes. Example value: `10m`
## Basic Example
``` json
{
"type" : "amazon-ebssurrogate",
"secret_key" : "YOUR SECRET KEY HERE",
"access_key" : "YOUR KEY HERE",
"region" : "us-east-1",
"ssh_username" : "ubuntu",
"instance_type" : "t2.medium",
"source_ami" : "ami-40d28157",
"launch_block_device_mappings" : [
{
"volume_type" : "gp2",
"device_name" : "/dev/xvdf",
"delete_on_termination" : false,
"volume_size" : 10
}
],
"ami_root_device": {
"source_device_name": "/dev/xvdf",
"device_name": "/dev/xvda",
"delete_on_termination": true,
"volume_size": 16,
"volume_type": "gp2"
}
}
```
-&gt; **Note:** Packer can also read the access key and secret access key from
environmental variables. See the configuration reference in the section above
for more information on what environmental variables Packer will look for.
Further information on locating AMI IDs and their relationship to instance
types and regions can be found in the AWS EC2 Documentation
[for Linux](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/finding-an-ami.html)
or [for Windows](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/finding-an-ami.html).
## Accessing the Instance to Debug
If you need to access the instance to debug for some reason, run the builder
with the `-debug` flag. In debug mode, the Amazon builder will save the private
key in the current directory and will output the DNS or IP information as well.
You can use this information to access the instance as it is running.
-&gt; **Note:** Packer uses pre-built AMIs as the source for building images.
These source AMIs may include volumes that are not flagged to be destroyed on
termination of the instance building the new image. In addition to those volumes
created by this builder, any volumes inn the source AMI which are not marked for
deletion on termination will remain in your account.
