Description

I'd like to stop using ssh in favor of ssm. I use the current hashicorp/packer docker container and would like to continue using it, however, I'm unable to run builds using ssm with the container without having to build a new hashicorp/packer-session-manager container.

Would it be possible if the aws session-manager plugin can be added so ssm works out-of-the-box when using the official hashicorp/packer docker container ?

Use Case(s)

See above

Potential configuration

        "ssh_interface": "session_manager",
        "communicator": "ssh",

It's not really feasible for us to make the official docker container contain literally all possible packer dependencies -- we'd end up with a very large container indeed. See my comment here for context: hashicorp/docker-hub-images#100

The good news is our containers are very simple and you should not have trouble building your own based on https://github.com/hashicorp/docker-hub-images/blob/master/packer/Dockerfile-light
