Automation is attractive but not not a primary goal this time. Being able to=
 kick it off from an EC2 launch template and come back to a finished AMI, ma=
kes it more likely I=E2=80=99d have it done the next few times the AMI needs=
 remaking.

I suppose I will need to do it manually the first time to see where the issu=
es are. I will share the feedback with you in case it is useful for a future=
 post.

Many thanks,
