Timeout waiting for long running Amazon EBS AMI copies on v1.2.5 #6536
Description
This is probably more a lack of documentation around the attempts and polling delay than a functional issue. Also, the error should be more verbose by default. The output below was with PACKER_LOG=1 set

[14:22:45] 2018/07/25 04:22:45 packer.exe: 2018/07/25 04:22:45 No AWS timeout and polling overrides have been set. Packer will defalt to waiter-specific delays and timeouts. If you would like to customize the length of time between retries and max number of retries you may do so by setting the environment variables AWS_POLL_DELAY_SECONDS and AWS_MAX_ATTEMPTS to your desired values.
