Prerequisites

Install packer

https://www.packer.io/intro/getting-started/install.html#precompiled-binaries Download packer__linux_amd64.zip

sudo unzip -d /usr/local/bin packer_<version>_linux_amd64.zip

Set Environment Variables for AWS EC2

Set following environment variables: ACCESS_KEY: AWS access key SECRET_KEY: AWS secret key EC2_ACCOUNT_ID: EC2 account id EC2_PIRVATE_KEY: EC2 private key full path EC2_CERT: EC2 certificate full path

AWS Client

packer doesn't need AWS Client on local system. But if you want to list/delete AMI entries in ec2 or s3 you need AWS Client command-line
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/awscli-install-linux.html

sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install awscli --upgrade

If you want to use aws/tools/* in this repo configure aws output format to "text"

aws configure

Run build

Current support regions: us-east-1 eu-west-1 ap-northeast-1 sa-east-1 ap-southeast-1 ap-southeast-2 eu-central-1 us-west-1 us-west-2

There is regions list file "regions.lst" under root of this repo.
