Is there a way to only building images, but skip image uploading

Packer

At new images fail/re-try building stage, I’d like to try image build only, to see whether it can successfully build, and build with specified toolsets and configs. We dont’ like the resulting images to save into destination VM image repository,

Is there a way to reach the goal? Thanks,

That’s sort of implemented in some sources, but not all. For example in AWS EC2 you can use skip_create_ami = true where it will run the build and build the instance but doesn’t take a AMI snapshot at the end of the build (so no AMI is generated). You have to look at the builder(s) you’re using to see if it has something similar.
