Packer 1.2.5 fails for AWS with 'ResourceNotReady: exceeded wait attempts' #6569
Description
I am shameless copying this issue but updating slightly: #5792
It may be related to #6526
I have a CentOS Packer build on AWS which works with version 1.1.2 but fails with version 1.2.5
The template used to build the image:
{
"variables": {
"packer_script_path": "",
"force_deregister": "",
"image_name": "",
"aws_secret_key_id": "{{env `AWS_SECRET_KEY_ID`}}",
"aws_secret_key": "{{env `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`}}",
"source_ami": "ami-476e4c22",
"ami_regions": "us-west-2",
"ssh_username": "{{env `DEFAULT_PLATFORM_USER`}}"
},
"builders": [
{
"name": "aws",
"type": "amazon-ebs",
"region": "us-east-2",
"source_ami": "{{user `source_ami`}}",
"instance_type": "t2.medium",
"ssh_username": "{{user `ssh_username`}}",
"ssh_pty": "true",
"run_tags": {
"Source": "Packer",
},
"tags": {
"Source": "Packer",
},
"ami_name": "{{user `image_name`}}",
"ami_description": "{{user `image_name`}}",
"force_deregister": "{{user `force_deregister`}}",
"ami_regions": "{{user `ami_regions`}}",
"shutdown_behavior": "terminate"
}
],
"provisioners": [
{
"type": "shell",
"execute_command": "{{ .Vars }} sudo -E -S sh '{{ .Path }}'",
"scripts": [
"{{user `packer_script_path`}}/install-packages.sh"
]
},
{
"type": "shell",
"execute_command": "{{ .Vars }} sudo -E -S sh '{{ .Path }}'",
"scripts": [
"{{user `packer_script_path`}}/configure-os.sh"
]
},
{
"type": "shell",
"execute_command": "{{ .Vars }} sudo -E -S sh '{{ .Path }}'",
"scripts": [
"{{user `packer_script_path`}}/set-kernel.sh"
]
}
],
"post-processors": [
{
"type": "manifest",
"output": "image-metadata/aws-{{user `file_name`}}.json",
"strip_path": true
}
]
}
As you can see, I am not doing anything complicated.
When the build fails using version 1.2.5, it times out with the following error. This happens 75% of the time:
==> aws: 1 error(s) occurred:
==> aws:
==> aws: * Error waiting for AMI (ami-192c0861) in region (us-west-2): ResourceNotReady: exceeded wait attempts
-
Packer version from packer version
1.2.5 -
Host platform
Alpine Linux 3.8.0
I am using this image from dockerhub, https://hub.docker.com/r/hashicorp/packer/, with a tag of light.
If I run the above template using v 1.1.2, it works fine.
Regard,
