Anyone have thoughts on how to turn this into something more reproducible, like Packer? Love the idea but would hate to rebuild AMI's by hand every X time for Y

Anyone have thoughts on how to turn this into something more reproducible, like Packer? Love the idea but would hate to rebuild AMI's by hand every X time for Y regions.
- lscotte 10y agoI definitely have thoughts about automating the process :-) - we certainly plan on getting the whole process into an automated, repeatable build.
- jen20 10y ago(Disclaimer - I work at HashiCorp) I'm working on a Packer builder type that will support this use case as we speak. The existing AWS `chroot` builder would likely be sufficient, but requires running from within AWS.
- lscotte 10y agoI'll be curious to hear what you come up with. You should be able to create the image file locally and then shove it into S3, and use AWS just for dd'ing it to EBS.
- ShakataGaNai 10y agoSeems like a perfectly logical pre-req. Easy enough to automate with say a Lambda function to spin up a pre-configured host instance to build the AMI's. So... very exciting, looking forward to hearing more about when it "hits the streets"!
