Ssh is not yet involved in anything. The way to interpret these log lines: 01:47:26 [1;32m==> amazon-ebs: Launching a source AWS instance... [0m01:47:27 [0;32m amazon-ebs: Instance ID: i-0570fffad0bc0f0a8 [0m 01:47:27 [1;32m==> amazon-ebs: Waiting for instance (i-0570fffad0bc0f0a8) to become ready... [0m 01:47:30 [1;31m==> amazon-ebs: Error waiting for instance (i-0570fffad0bc0f0a8) to become ready: unexpected state 'shutting-down', wanted target 'running' [0m
Is that first packer sends the run instance API call which returns an instance-id for the new instance. Packer then loops doing describe instance API calls waiting for instance state to become running, but instead it gets shutting-down which means that the instance automatically shut down. The reason for this is most likely available in the system console log from the machine.
