Add Static IP option for AWS and Azure #36

Open ghost opened 3 years ago

This issue was originally opened by @TechnicalMercenary as hashicorp/packer#10435. It was migrated here as a result of the Packer plugin split. The original body of the issue is below.

Description

When I'm building an GCP VMI, a googlecompute builder, I can specify an 'address' which allows an "pre-allocated static external IP address". I do this because a software repo that I'm pulling from is protected by IP whitelist.

I would like something similar in the 'amazon-ebs' builder and the 'azure-arm' builder. I'm pretty sure that both cloud platforms allow a pre-allocated Static IP to be assigned.

AWS has their Elastic IPs Azure has 'Public IP address'

Use Case(s)

Allow the AMI/VMI being built to have a known IP. This would allow access to external resources that are secured by IP whitelist ( allow list ).

Potential configuration

See the googlecompute documentation for reference

Are static IPs on AWS/Azure supported in Packer now? Or perhaps someone can help me figure this out?

Can we pass static IP for AWS Packer now?
