Dear Packer group,
I am using latest packer 1.5.4
I want to get the latest AMI ID's for Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, CentOS7,
AmazonLinux2
Packer always uses the AMI ID which is one ami behind the latest ami, even
though i tell to use the latest AMI.
The following is the aws ec2 command which will return the latest AMI.
aws ec2 describe-images \
--filters
"Name=name,Values=ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-xenial-16.04-amd64-server-*"
\
--query 'Images[*].[ImageId,CreationDate]' --output text \
| sort -k2 -r \
| head -n1
Which returns *ami-092d0fe375260a228 ,* it is the latest one.
In the packer json template i am using the following.
"source_ami": "{{user `source_ami`}}",
"source_ami_filter": {
"filters": {
"virtualization-type": "hvm",
"name":"ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-xenial-16.04-amd64-server-*",
"root-device-type": "ebs"
},
"owners": ["099720109477"],
"most_recent": true
}
it returns *ami-08bc77a2c7eb2b1da* and is not the latest one.
In the above code i am passing the latest ami id in the source_ami
variable, its not considering that, instead it picks an ami id which is one
ami behind the latest one.
Could you please let me know how can i solve this issue ?
Appreciate your reply.
Thanks & Regards
Majid M A
