1 year ago Hi Team,
Is there any update on this. I'm also facing the same issue with both AWS Windows and Linux Ubuntu Images. They'are working fine on WinRM and SSH communicator if using public subnet. But getting below timeout exception:
==> ubuntu-amazon-ebs.ubuntu: Waiting for SSH to become available... ==> ubuntu-amazon-ebs.ubuntu: Timeout waiting for SSH.
I've already used below configuration but those are meant for using the private IP instead of the public one in public subnet:
associate_public_ip_address = false ssh_interface = "private_ip"
Please suggest.

This issue was originally opened by @JrInfra in https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/issues/11444 and has been migrated to this repository. The original issue description is below.
Overview of the Issue
I'm trying to create an AWS AMI with packer but it seems like I am running into an issue where it seems WinRM keeps timing out when I use a private subnet.
I've taken a look and can see there is a IGW attached to the VPC and when I do try this with a public subnet, its able to connect to WinRM just fine with no issues.
My question is what can be stopping winRM from connecting and how to prevent timeouts from occurring?
Reproduction Steps:
Launch the template and attempt to create AMI (packer build .)
Packer version
1.7.8
Simplified Packer Template:
`packer { required_plugins { amazon = { version = ">= 0.0.2" source = "github.com/hashicorp/amazon" } } }
source "amazon-ebs" "windows_server" { ami_description = "TestAMI" ami_name = "TestAMI" ami_users = ["${var.ami_users}"] associate_public_ip_address = false communicator = "winrm" instance_type = "${var.instance_type}" region = "${var.aws_region}" security_group_id = "${var.security_group_id}" force_deregister = true force_delete_snapshot = true source_ami_filter { filters = { architecture = "x86_64" name = "Windows_Server-2019-English-Full-ContainersLatest-*" root-device-type = "ebs" virtualization-type = "hvm" } most_recent = true owners = ["amazon"] } subnet_id = "${var.subnet_id}" user_data_file = "./bootstrap_windows.txt" vpc_id = "${var.vpc_id}" winrm_insecure = true winrm_port = 5986 winrm_use_ssl = true winrm_timeout = "60m" winrm_username = "Administrator" }
build { sources = ["source.amazon-ebs.windows_server"]
provisioner "powershell" { script = "./SetNetwork.ps1"
}
}`
Operating system:
The EC2 is Windows Server 2019
