I’ve been experiencing the weirdest issue with Packer: • Running a build on a Windows image in ca-central-1 has issues with WinRM where it’s unable to connect and times out • Changing the region to us-east-1 immediately resolves the issue

• I’ve been able to recreate this with the tutorial from the Packer docs Has anyone run into this as well? Can anyone recreate this on their end?

I first noticed this yesterday and felt like I was going insane

The amazon-ebs Packer builder is able to create Amazon AMIs backed by EBS volumes for use in EC2. For more information on the difference between EBS-backed instances and instance-store backed instances, see the storage for the root device section in the EC2 documentation.

Sounds like it’s security group related
