Hi, I just started using Packer for the first time
I want to use it to create a custom AMI based on Amazon Linux AMI for ElasticBeanstalk. I want to use the base image and install erlang, elixir and Rserve on it. For this purpose, I wrote a #cloud-config script to declare all the dependencies under "packages:", and to declare all the instructions it needs to execute, under "runcmd:", so that packer during the build will download a 250mb file from erlang.com/download, download a git repo for elixir and download R and all its dependencies I have tested the #cloud-config script by launching an ec2 instance and supplying it as user-data. Once I had it fully working, I proceeded to supplement this script to packer by specifying a user_data_file The problem that I am experiencing is that packer stops the instance too soon for my 250MB file to even get downloaded. The server only stays on for like 20-30 seconds and then it abruptly ends it. Can someone explain to me why Packer is behaving in this way and what potential workaround I may consider?
