Set tag with isotime +30d #8878

Closed fmunteanu closed 4 years ago

fmunteanu commented 4 years ago

I want to create an AMI DeleteOn tag, using isotime:

"tags": {
    "DeleteOn": "{{isotime '2006-01-02'}}"
}

However, I would like to set the tag 30 days into future. Could you please help me figure what i the proper format?

Hey @fmunteanu, thanks for opening, I was looking at the docs and it looks like it's not available in the JSON mode yet. I think it would be a valuable addition.

In HCL2 mode there's a timeadd functions though: https://packer.io/docs/configuration/from-1.5/functions/datetime/timeadd.html ( if you decide to update to HCL2 for this reason please bear in mind it's still in beta and being actively worked on, we don't expect any breaking changes though only additions )

Hi @azr , I'm looking at the documentation and HCL2 is in beta. Do all JSON features are available in HCL2? https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl https://packer.io/guides/hcl/from-json-v1

azr commented 4 years ago

Not all features, like for now only the build command is available and there are some things we want to fix/do. The list can be found here: https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/labels/hcl2 ( watch out some fixes/features of this link are closed and will be available for the next release )
