gitlab-runner-packer's Issues

Packer Occasionally Fails to create AMI

Mostly AMI creation succeeds. However, the following failure has occasionally been seen.
It seems to be a random occurrence or at least I don't currently know of a way to cause it to occur.
There were no prior errors in the scripts.

amazon-ebs output will be in this color.
