remove market place restriction

[Frank Dias]

I have a packer build that uses the AMI source from market place and the parket place image does not support Gen5 instances.

during the build I am adding the required drivers the use Gen5 instance. I have done this manually and now trying to get it into a packer build.

any suggestions as to how to do this with packer.

my manual process;

install ENA drivers

create second volume

dd first volume to second volume

shutdown instance

unmount first volume

mount second volume

start image to confirm working instance

shutdown instance

create ami from instance

launch instance from new ami, no market place instance restrictions

thanks in advance

I would start by using the amazon-ebs builder and a provisioner script that installs the ENA driver. That is probably all you have to do.

Rickard,

I have tried that and I am still seeing the market restriction on the created AIM.

the only way I have gotten around this has been to create a second volume and dd the original the second the switch volume mounts. after I have done this the market restriction is removed.

I would think that there is a better way to do this with packer.

Can you link to the market place item?
