One of the "issue" with Packer, at least for EC2 (Ocean, GCE, ..?) is it creates an image from an existing EC2 instance. So you need to get an EC2 account and use some "minimal" Amazon resources to build an image. With bootstrap-vz, you build your images only locally on your computer, no need of remote account/resource.
