Im using packer to build an AMI in AWS. I’ve been reading about tagging my AMI and the running instance. The two methods are ‘tags’ and ‘run_tags’.
Unfortunately ‘run_tags’ are also inherited by the finished AMI, but in my scenario I don’t want this to be the case. I do require specific run_tags to perform some of the provisioning of the AMI, but I don’t need them on the final AMI.
Is there a way to separate these two?
I found this issue where they made the change to always include run_tags on the final AMI, but no way not to.
