Unable to create AMI from Marketplace source with subscribed credentials

avidalto opened this issue · comments

Description

I am encountering an issue when using Packer to create an AMI from a source AMI in the AWS Marketplace. Here are the details:

Problem

Packer is configured with a set of AWS credentials, and the source AMI in the AWS Marketplace requires a subscription. I can launch an instance from the source AMI. However, when attempting to use Packer with the exact same credentials, I encounter the following error:

==> amazon-ebs.aws: Error launching source instance: OptInRequired: In order to use this AWS Marketplace product you need to accept terms and subscribe. To do so please visit https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp?sku=cotnnspjrsi38lfn8qo4ibnnm

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Subscribe to the source AMI in the AWS Marketplace.
  2. Use the same AWS credentials on the command line to launch an instance from the source AMI (successfully).
  3. Configure Packer with the same AWS credentials and attempt to create an AMI.
  4. Encounter the "OptInRequired" error mentioned above.

Expected Behavior

Packer should be able to use the subscribed credentials to create an AMI from the source AMI in the AWS Marketplace without encountering the "OptInRequired" error.

Environment

Packer Version: 1.9.4
Operating System: Ubuntu
