I’m using open source packer 1.8.5. I have been on a quest to reduce the output from packer build which I don’t really need to see. I searched docs, source code, here and found nothing. In fact the string “Force Deregister” does not show up in the source code repo on GitHub. Is there anyway to control this output? It is written to standard output and I redirect it to a file.
I see volumes of this output:
builder-ubuntu.amazon-ebs.ubuntu22amd_ue1: output will be in this color.
builder-ubuntu.amazon-ebs.ubuntu22arm_ue1: output will be in this color.
builder-ubuntu.amazon-ebs.ubuntu20amd_ue1: output will be in this color.
builder-ubuntu.amazon-ebs.ubuntu20arm_ue1: output will be in this color.
