Hi list, Thank you for the feedback. As a follow up, one of the plugins that I believe does a wonderful job in AMI management, just got updated to support multi-regions:
https://github.com/wata727/packer-post-processor-amazon-ami-management You just specify the number of releases you want to keep and the regions for which to apply this, and, based on a tag, the plugin will delete and de-register. wata727, don't know if you're on the list, but, if you are, thank you! Great stuff!
