AMAZON EBS post provisioning AMI tags

[Guillermo A Menjivar]

Hello All,

I have a quick question. I am using amazon-ebs to generate my AMIs. However, there are artifacts that are generated during my provisioning step; such as installing software `foo. I extract the version that was installed in my soon to be AMI. I would like to know if there is any way that I can use this data to add additional tags to my final AMI. Do I make sense ? I noticed that alot of the tags definitions are done statically ( from my currently limited understanding of tagging in packer) but would like to take output from some of my post-provisioners and use them as input to create more tags. 

Thanks !

There is no direct support for this, but you can achieve this with writing the tags to a a file and then download it with the file provisioner. Then after the AMI have been created you can use the shell-local post-processor to add the tags to the AMI.
