my packer config is as below

I am passing list of destination regions as variables, though the ami is copied the tags are not getting copied.

copy_regions is list passed below.

    "variables" : {

      "ami_regions": "{{user `copy_regions`}}",
      "user_data_file": "scripts/base_amzn_cloud_config"
    },

my packer command triggered

['packer build --only=copier-hvm', '-machine-readable', '-var region=us-east-1', '-var hvm_src_ami=ami-xxxxx',   '-var copy_regions=ap-northeast-1', '/media/ebs1/workspace/copy-cluster-ami-subcommand/ops/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/qweez/packer/cluster/aws/release/copy_config.json']



please suggest what is the solution.
As per the packer documentation the tags should also be copied

They should. What version of packer did you use? And what did you do to come the conclusion that the regional AMI's are not tagged?

If you rerun the build with PACKER_LOG=1 and post the full output here we can tell if there is something wrong.

Hi Rickard,

Thanks for the reply.

I am using the latest 1.3.4 packer version. I have 4 tags in the src ami in us-east-1 and when tried copying to ap-northeast-1, it creates 2 ami's one in us-east-1 again and 1 ami in ap-northeast-1, when logged in to aws console and search for the new ami id's I do not see the tags which are present in src ami.

As suggested I re-ran the ami copy with PACKER_LOG=1, and below is the logs.

Please note I have masked the ami, sg ids for security purpose.

My Packer command

==============

["PACKER_LOG=1 PACKER_LOG_PATH='/tmp/copy_packer_logs.log' packer build --only=copier-hvm", '-machine-readable', '-var region=us-east-1', '-var hvm_src_ami=ami-xxxxxx', '-var hvm_deeplearning_src_ami=ami-xxxx', '-var al2_src_ami=ami-xxxxx', '-var copy_regions=ap-northeast-1', '/media/ebs1/workspace/copy-cluster-ami-subcommand/ops/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/qweez/packer/cluster/aws/release/copy_config.json']

packer debug logs

==============

Tags are not automatically copied from the source_ami. You can use tags and the templating feature *) for that.

Packer creates an new AMI in the region where you build and then copies that AMI to the ami_regions. If the only thing you want is to copy an existing AMI from one region to another it simpler to use the cli.

Thanks for the Reply !

So is it a bug in packer where the src ami tags are not copied to the copied ami's in different regions.

Because as per the packer documnetation it should have copied the tags as well.

https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/amazon-ebs.html#ami_regions

this is what it says

ami_regions (array of strings) - A list of regions to copy the AMI to. Tags and attributes are copied along with the AMI. AMI copying takes time depending on the size of the AMI, but will generally take many minutes.

Thanks!

No, you are reading that wrong, the tags from the created AMI (in region) gets copied into ami_regions, not the tags from the source_ami. It's not a bug.
