Feature Request: packer EBS builder - share encrypted AMIs

[Andrew Citera]

AWS recently announced the ability to share encrypted AMIs across accounts using a single SDK command. 

https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2019/05/share-encrypted-amis-across-accounts-to-launch-instances-in-a-single-step/

This would be a great feature to incorporate into packer since it already has the ability to share non-encrypted AMIs with supplied account numbers. 

If I find some free time I can try working on this, but I'm much more proficient in python and would need to struggle my way through go to contribute.

This sounds like it's worth implementing; It's easier for the maintainers to track if you open a feature request on Packer's github -- mind doing that?

The default text in the github issues section said feature requests were for this board and to only list bugs on github.

If you're stating otherwise I can open up an issue on github.

Any idea on the level of effort for this? I haven't looked at the source code of ebs builder module.

The issue text says bugs _or_ feature requests belong on GH, and other general questions belong here, but I can see how a quick read would have sent you here for features too.

Without looking at the details, I'd say it probably shouldn't be too bad for me or someone else who is already spun up on golang + the amazon builder. My gut instinct is that it'll be a bit tricky for a first-time contributor though; the region copy/sharing code is a little complex.

If you do find that free time eventually and want to jump in, we do have issues tagged "good first issue" for people who want to get their feet wet with golang and/or contributing to Packer.
