Packer template to build a AWS Gluu server AMI

Gluu Server AMI

AMI that should be used to create virtual machines with Gluu Server installed.

Synopsis

This script will create an AMI with Gluu Server installed and with all of the required initialization scripts.

The AMI resulting from this script should be the one used to instantiate a Gluu Server

Getting Started

There are a couple of things needed for the script to work.

Prerequisites

Packer and AWS Command Line Interface tools need to be installed on your local computer. To build a base image this uses a AMI filter to get the latest Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial HVM EBS image.

Packer

Ubuntu AMI's

This AMI will be based on an official Ubuntu AMI. The latest version of that AMI will be used.

A list of Ubuntu AMI id's can be found at the Ubuntu official page: Ubuntu Amazon EC2 Images
