I realize this thread is old... but since I was having the exact same
problem I figured I'd report that this DID work for me. :-)
I created a new firewall rule for my packer instances and assigned the rule
to apply to my hosts which are tagged "packer" by adding:
"tags": ["packer"]
to my builders.
Cheers,
Ben
