Supposedly it can be done with a packer post-processor, but I've no experience in that. (I've previously done full AMI exports into .box files, there are walkthroughs online).

I'm guessing you tried:

Does their example not work?

I think you need vagrant.


yeah I have that.

What I am doing is creating an AMI that uploads to AWS - this all works,
what I want it to do next is produce a file(s) that I can open locally so I
can test that AMI before deployment.
