AWS WorkSpaces Image/Bundle Builder about packer-plugin-amazon HOT 5 OPEN

This is needed; however, I think one of the challenges will be the lack of metadata API or user_data in AWS Workspaces instances. You could workaround this by creating a base image that does some bootstrapping like enable WinRM or SSH, but it's still a manual step, albeit one that scales to produce many images. Another option would be to use the domain join plus group policy to accomplish the same.

I don't know if they planned to show this or not, but the place that this issue was migrated from had 24 👍 emojis on it before it was migrated. I don't think very many of those people will know that the issue was migrated, because GH doesn't notify about something unless you are subscribed to it ( which is what I did ), or have commented. An emoji doesn't trigger that response.

So, just to make sure people know this has been a decently requested feature ( 23 + 1 ( mine ( which I did on this issue as well ) ) ). Just wanted to make sure the context carried over 🙂

Any update on this request? Is there somewhere we can go to see if this is in the pipeline?

Has anyone attempted to use Packer to create an EC2 AMI like normal, and then workspaces:ImportWorkspaceImage to turn it into a Workspace Image?
