Build AMI from Packer and Ansible

You need to install Hashicorp Packer and RedHat Ansible. Also you need AWS SDK installed and configured access token in profile ~/.aws/credentials

Packer creates AMI from Ubuntu 20.04 on M6g instance type (Graviton2) and provision via Ansible playbook packer-es.yml to setup ElasticSearch.

From this AMI you need to create EC2.

Example

packer build elastic-arm.json
