Can i patch ubuntu during a packer build in the cloud-init script?

[Alvaro Miranda Aguilera]

yes you can

packer can handle reboots too

cloud-init will be fire and forget, so you can have a script that checks for for file mark

ie

cloud-init creates a file:

/var/tmp/completed

and a script wait for that file to exists.

I personally would patch from a shell script, to control the reboot and wait, but cloud-init should work too
