AWS changed image visibility for deprecated ones (ref). In short, non-owner user can only describe deprecated AMI by by specifying its ID.
AFAIK, for Debian 8/Centos 6/Centos 7, all matched results returned from image_search are all older than 2 years. Soon they will no longer visible in search query.
Impact:
Instance cannot be created for Debian 8/Centos 6/Centos 7.
End user can set image_id for such platform in their kitchen.yml as work-around. It's nice that the driver works out-of-box.
:grey_question: Possible Solution
For end-of-life OS which doesn't have new AMI anymore, we can explicitly set their image_id.
