Packer build based on command output

[Sean O'Reilly]

Hi

I want to configure packer to build an AMI based on the output of yum list-security.

The idea is to spin up a base image and run yum list-security. If there are security updates available it will install the updates and create a new AMI. If not it will just fail (preferably gracefully)

Has anyone done anything like this before that could give me a few pointers.

Cheers

Sean

Haven't done that my self. One way of accomplice this is to use as a file provisioner to download a status file and wrap packer with a script that determines if the build was failed or aborted due to no updates.
