Sharing encrypted AMI's across accounts with Packer

[Justin Metz]

Hi,

In Packer 1.4.2 there was a feature added that will share encrypted Amazon AMI's across accounts.  I cannot find any mention of how to use this feature in the online documentation (Amazon EBS Builder), so I'm wondering if I'm missing something or maybe the documentation wasn't updated.  If anyone could please shed some light I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

J

Anyone have any ideas on this one?

Take a look at the https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/amazon-ebs.html#ami_users option..

If I recall correctly, you can only share encrypted AMIs if they aren't encrypted using an account's default kms key.  That change you're referencing in 1.4.2 wasn't adding a specific option for encrypted AMIs, it just cleaned up the validation logic to make sure we didn't fail a build if you were trying to share an encrypted AMI when the encryption was with the non-default key.
