This works with a temporary ssh keypair:
{
"builders": [
{
"type": "cloudstack",
"api_url": "https://api.auroracompute.eu/ams/";,
"network": "GuestNetworkForAMS05",
"service_offering": "Agile | 512M",
"source_template": "Ubuntu 16.04",
"zone": "ams05",
"ssh_username": "root",
"use_local_ip_address": true,
"security_groups": [ "ssh-from-any" ],
"template_name": "Packer-test",
"template_display_text": "Packer test",
"template_os": "fa5df8b3-2eda-11e7-8c80-0030489db374"
}]
}
cloudstack output will be in this color.

Build 'cloudstack' finished.
==> Builds finished. The artifacts of successful builds are:
--> cloudstack: A template was created: Packer-test
It runs on a public cloud https://www.pcextreme.com/ - aurora compute. You
can register and test this out your self.
In your case I recommend that you run with: packer build -on-error=ask
template.json
So you manually can try to ssh into the instance and also debug from the
console. Check the usual, network, ssh, authorization and cloud-init.
If you still have problem run with PACKER_LOG=1 and link the log here and
we can see if there is anything going wrong.
