> I not as familiar with packer. Does it run a kickstart install? No, it starts up an ec2 instance with a base AMI (ami-1690b173 in us-east-2 in this case) and runs whatever commands and scripts you want it to run to install things, change configs, etc. When it done it creates a new AMI from that running instance. > > 2.?

OK but I don't think there is an RPM for docker-compose. Usually you just curl it to download as shown here: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/#install-compose So how to do that kind of install? Thanks, Chad
