📀 Build AMI - dvsa/des-workflow-actions GitHub Wiki

Description

This workflow automates the process of building an Amazon Machine Image (AMI). It starts an EC2 runner, checks out the relevant repositories (Packer and Puppet), configures AWS credentials, and then uses Packer to validate and build the AMI based on the provided input parameters.
