Canonical publishes stable AMIs at ubuntu/images/ and unstable AMIs at
ubuntu/images-testing/. Combined with most_recent: true, the old name
filter bounces you between stable and unstable.
In AWS we can derive the `VpcId` and AZ from the `SubnetId`, so now we do. In the config you can now only specify the `SubnetId`.
This fixes issue #4693.
This PR adds the ability for Packer to clean up snapshots in addition to
deregistering AMIs at build time.
To test this, I used the following `test.json` file:
```json
{
"builders": [
{
"type": "amazon-ebs",
"region": "us-east-1",
"source_ami": "ami-fce3c696",
"ami_name": "packer-test",
"instance_type": "m3.medium",
"ssh_username": "ubuntu",
"vpc_id": "some-vpc-id",
"subnet_id": "some-subnet-routed-through-igw",
"security_group_id": "some-security-group-with-port-22-access",
"force_delete_snapshot": true
}
],
"provisioners": [
{
"type": "shell-local",
"command": "echo 'hello'"
}
]
}
```
I appreciate any constructive feedbakc that can be given. Cheers!
Since the packer website isn't yet ready to use middleman partials,
this commit rolls back the partials in favor of bringing parity to
each amazon docs page
