What steps did you take and what happened:
Pulled latest master branch and installed all the pre-requisites.
Run make build-ami-rhel-8
The build gets stuck at:

    amazon-ebs.{{user `build_name`}}: TASK [sysprep : Remove subscriptions] ******************************************

On commenting this particular role in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/image-builder/blob/master/images/capi/ansible/roles/sysprep/tasks/redhat.yml#L54

    - name: Remove subscriptions
      rhsm_repository:
        name: '*'
        state: absent

The build succeeds and AMI is created.On launching an instance from that AMI, unable to ssh into the machine(made sure that the port is open). I also tried to login the instance from EC2 serial console which requires login and password(Had provided the same in https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/image-builder/blob/master/images/capi/packer/ami/rhel-8.json as ssh_password) but that also does not work.

What did you expect to happen:
The AMI should be generated and creating an instance with this AMI, it should be accessible

Anything else you would like to add:

I'll check the login issue but my guess is you should be able to ssh into the vm with the ssh key you used to launch it with.

The AMI creation failing was because of expired RHEL subscription that I was using. AMI is generated successfully now. However unable to ssh into it. Will raise a separate issue for the same. Closing this issue.
