This is not your normal Bento box. Instead of building a system from an ISO we're building a system from an Amazon provided vm hdd image files. This means the process is a bit different than usual.
Simply run one of the amazonlinxu-2*-build.sh scripts
These scripts will:
- Download the vm image file for Amazon Linux 2 or 2023 and place it in the amz_working_files directory. Amazon hosts these at https://cdn.amazonlinux.com/os-images/latest/ and https://cdn.amazonlinux.com/al2023/os-images/latest/.
- It will prepare the VDI file for packer and export it as a OVF file
- It will run the packer build
- Lastly it will clean up the leftover files in the working directory on successful completion
