Should help people dealing with #4570 and #3328 because packer copies
`floppy_files` to floppy without any error even if they exceed 1.44 MB
limit. `floppy_dirs`throws error about FAT size limit exceeded but
without mentioning that real issue is the floppy size limit:
```
Build 'qemu' errored: Error adding path virtio_iso to floppy: FAT FULL
```
As pointed out in the initial code review of #4351, some of the steps
from the standard EBS builder were (intetionally) omitted. It turns out
that these actually are useful, and the original rationale for the
omission was wrong. Consequently, this commit adds in the following
steps:
- `StepPrevalidate`
- `StepTagEBSVolumes`
- `StepDeregisterAMI`
- `StepCreateEncryptedAMICopy`
- `StepAMIRegionCopy`
- `StepModifyAMIAttribute`
- `StepCreateTags`
We also fix the interpolation filter and documentation to reflect these
additions, though the majority were already documented and just not
functional.
Change the Windows samples to include sysprep.
Document the default user name for Linux, and why it was chosen.
Document temp_compute_name and temp_resource_group_name, and provide a
reason why you would want to override them.
Document the deprovision process for Windows and Linux.
Document the skip_clean option as it pertains to Linux deprovision.
This commit adds a new type of builder which builds an AMI based on a
snapshot of an EBS volume which is provisioned on a "surrogate"
instance. This can be used to build operating system images from
scratch, but unlike the `chroot` builder does not require running from
an AWS EC2 instance.
add reuse_ips option and use it to control whether openstack builder
will attempt to reuse existing unassigned floating ips rather than
allocating a new one.
