Can the instance used for the packer build be encrypted? (Not talking about the ami made from it)

[Adalberto Sanchez]

Due to some security policies, we can’t spin up instances that are not encrypted. When I run a packer build, it tries to first make an instance named “Packer Builder” that is not encrypted and fails. Is there a way to tell packer to encrypt the actual instance it’s running the provisioners on?
