How to deploy AWS AMI from vagrant box(bento source)?

[falconws]

I'm using Packer builder like this.

```

{

  "builders": [

    {

      "communicator": "ssh",

      "source_path": "bento/ubuntu-20.04",

      "provider": "virtualbox",

      "type": "vagrant",

      "output_dir": "target",

      "skip_add": true

    }

  ],

  "provisioners": [

    {

      "type": "shell",

      "script": "packer_script.sh"

    },

}

```

So this is output target/package.box.

I want to deploy AWS AMI from this box image.

How to?

Maybe use this Post-Processor

https://www.packer.io/docs/post-processors/amazon-import

But, this post-processor is not supported `.box` image.

Am I need .box -> .vmdk convert?

Can I direct import .box to AWS AMI?

Thanks.

a vmware .box is just a tarfile, so you can untar it using the shell-local post-processor and get the vmdk that way, then use the artifice post-processor to set that vmdk as the artifact, and then upload that using the amazon-import post-processor.
