Enabling skip_create_ami in the in amazon-ebs builder unnecessarily prevalidates the AMI name. This is an annoyance for development since I have to delete an existing AMI for a build that will not create/replace the AMI.
Expected Behavior
Enabling skip_create_ami should skip the AMI name prevalidation similar to the force_deregister and skip_save_build_region options.
Plugin and Packer version
Packer v1.9.2
amazon plugin : 1.2.6
Use Case(s)
Development builds in Packer
Workaround
Enable force_deregister which forces the prevalidation to be skipped, however this comes at the expense of deregistering the existing AMI at the end :frowning_face:
