Description

I would like the ability to provision an image using System Manager Documents.

Use Case(s)

I am strictly building images in AWS and already manage my EC2 instances using SSM. It would be useful if I could leverage the SSM documents I've already created in order to build an image rather than using another provisioner such as the shell provisioner.

Potential configuration

{
  ...,
  "provisioners": [
    {
      "type": "ssm",
      "docs": [
        {
            "name": "myfancyssmdoc",
            "parameters": {
               "input1": "foo",
               "input2": "bar"
            }
        },
        {
           "name": "anothercooldoc"
         }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
