* Several places where AMI IDs are used now have more explanation about where to find information about them, or links to the builder docs * IDs present in examples have not been changed to valid ones, since this would be an on-going problem to maintain a current valid ID * See github.com issue #3132 Signed-off-by: David Zanetti <dave2@wetstring.net>

The values in parentheses are the abbreviated, or 24-hour clock values
Here are some example formated time, using the above format options:
isotime = June 7, 7:22:43pm 2014
{{isotime "2006-01-02"}} = 2014-06-07
{{isotime "Mon 1504"}} = Sat 1922
{{isotime "02-Jan-06 03\_04\_05"}} = 07-Jun-2014 07\_22\_43
{{isotime "Hour15Year200603"}} = Hour19Year201407
Please note that double quote characters need escaping inside of templates (in this case, on the ami_name value):
{
"builders": [
{
"type": "amazon-ebs",
"access_key": "...",
"secret_key": "...",
"region": "us-east-1",
"source_ami": "ami-72b9e018",
"instance_type": "t2.micro",
"ssh_username": "ubuntu",
"ami_name": "packer {{isotime \"2006-01-02\"}}"
}
]
}
-> Note: See the Amazon builder documentation for more information on how to correctly configure the Amazon builder in this example.
Amazon Specific Functions
Specific to Amazon builders:
clean_ami_name- AMI names can only contain certain characters. This function will replace illegal characters with a '-" character. Example usage since ":" is not a legal AMI name is:{{isotime | clean_ami_name}}.
