Full Changelog: https://github.com/hashicorp/packer-plugin-amazon/compare/v1.2.4...v1.2.5

Note

As part of the fixes related to the regression from 1.2.3, when one changes the value of the associate_public_ip_address, the plugin will attempt to get the default VPC for the account that runs the build, should none be specified. To do so, we use the DescribeVpcs API endpoint, which may cause builds to fail because of a missing permission: ec2:DescribeVpcs.
We are actively working on a fix for this, so the default behaviour in case the permission is missing will not make builds fail, but instead show a warning regarding the associate_public_ip_address being ignored, as was silently the case before version 1.2.3.
In the meantime, you may either specify a subnet/VPC, or remove the associate_public_ip_address from your configuration if you encounter this error.

• Release 1.2.3 by @lbajolet-hashicorp in https://github.com/hashicorp/packer-plugin-amazon/pull/366
• common: Fix regression for subnet_filters when public IP set by @lbajolet-hashicorp in https://github.com/hashicorp/packer-plugin-amazon/pull/370

Full Changelog: https://github.com/hashicorp/packer-plugin-amazon/compare/v1.2.3...v1.2.4

Note

A regression to the subnet selection logic when using the subnet_id or subnet_filter along with the associate_public_ip_address configuration argument was introduced in release v1.2.3. A fix has been made and is available for use in v1.2.4.

We recommend that you upgrade to the latest available release prior to running a new Packer build. If you are not using associate_public_ip_address or running an older version of the packer-plugin-amazon plugin no change is necessary.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/hashicorp/packer-plugin-amazon/compare/v1.2.0...v1.2.1

What's Changed

Note on the breaking change: the commit merged from PR #309 fixes a bug where the plugin would fallback on the private IP after a single try to get the public IP of the instance being created. Now, it will try multiple times to get the public IP, and only on the latest try, if the public IP is still unavailable, will it fallback to the private IP of the instance. While this behaviour is in line with the documentation, this may be surprising to users that encounter this behaviour, as with this update, there's a greater chance of the IP being the public one. For this reason, we have marked it as breaking, and updated the minor version of the plugin to highlight this change.
