Just upgraded now
packer -v
1.1.0
Made a change to use "ssh_agent_auth" and added the below to my ssh config:
Host first.three.octets.*
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/cloudstack.pem
{
"builders": [{
"type": "cloudstack",
"api_url": "{{user `api_url`}}",
"api_key": "{{user `api_key`}}",
"network": "{{user `network`}}",
"secret_key": "{{user `secret_key`}}",
"service_offering": "{{user `service_offering`}}",
"source_template": "{{user `source_template`}}",
"template_os": "{{user `template_os`}}",
"zone": "{{user `zone`}}",
"instance_name": "{{ user `instance_name`}}-{{timestamp}}",
"template_name": "{{user `template_name`}}-{{timestamp}}",
"template_password_enabled": true,
"template_scalable": true,
"expunge": true,
"ssh_agent_auth": true,
"ssh_username": "{{user `ssh_username`}}",
"keypair": "{{user `keypair`}}"
}]
}
Now I get timeouts. Assuming the key, keypair and username are all correct,
is this a correct set up for configuring a connection using ssh key?
