Hi,
I'm running into something that I'm not sure I understand.  Here's my 
(stripped down for example) use case:  I want to create an AMI where the 
name includes the environment it is built for (test, prod, etc).  Here's 
the packer file (named testVar.json):
{
  "variables": {
    "aws_access_key": "",
    "aws_secret_key": "",
    "cpe_env": "test"
  },
  "builders": [{
    "type": "amazon-ebs",
    "access_key": "{{user `aws_access_key`}}",
    "secret_key": "{{user `aws_secret_key`}}",
    "region": "us-west-2",
    "source_ami": "ami-b04e92d0",
    "instance_type": "t2.micro",
    "ssh_username": "ec2-user",
    "ami_name": "TestAMI-{{isotime \"20060102-1504\"}}-{{user `cpe_env`}}",
    "vpc_id": "someVPC",
    "subnet_id": "someSubnet"
  }]
}


When I run the following Packer command on Windows 10, I end up with an AMI 
name like "TestAMI-20161019-2241-test".  When I run the same command on 
Linux (Amazon Linux), I end up with an AMI name like 
"TestAMI-20161019-2241-prod". 
 I think this is a bug in Packer, but wanted to check here before 
submitting in case I'm missing something.

packer build -var 'aws_access_key=someAccessKey' -var 
'aws_secret_key=someSecretKey' -var 'cpe_env=prod' testVar.json

I've tried this Packer 0.10.1 and 0.10.2.

Thanks,
topher
