Hello Packer Community -

New to Packer and following a course in Packer. Using Packer 1.7.2 on Ubun 
20.10 VM.

Trying to deploy to AWS and I am running under an user I created in AWS 
which is part of group Administrator and has all privileges. I am running 
in a vagrant box as it allows me to keep to latest toolsets. This is shown 
below.
----------
My packer validate passes but packer build fails:
Error: Datasource.Execute failed: no valid credential sources for  found.
Please see 
for more information about providing credentials.

*Error: NoCreentialProviders: no valid providers in chain. Deprecated.*
* For verbose messaging see aws.Config.CredentialsChainVerboseErrors*
*  on template.json.pkr.hcl line 21:*
  *(source code shown below)*
----------
I am using AWS CLI 2 and credentials file + config file are ok.
In fact sts get caller-identitity returns fine.

vagrant@vbUBUNiINFRA1:~$ aws.sts.get-caller-identity
3304XXXX arn:aws:iam::3304XXXX:user/mono-acc.admin XXXXXXXXXXXXX
vagrant@vbUBUNiINFRA1:~$ aws.version
aws-cli/2.2.5 Python/3.8.8 Linux/5.8.0-53-generic exe/x86_64.ubuntu.20 
prompt/off
----------
The file I am trying to validate is as follows:
*The ssh-username  (below) is the only thing I change from the example (in 
book) to the default user in my credentials file based on which sts caller 
identity runs.*

*Not sure is ssh-username is the issue and what the ssh-username should be?*
*line 21 - where error shown occurs - is bolded-italicized*

*I use the same credentials and config file to run Terraform fine.*
*Thus I am not understanding as to why a similarly configured Packer templ 
will not work?*

}

Thanks for your help and insight.
