This will currently buidl a CentOS 7 AMI using Packer via the chroot method. This must be run from a running AWS instance of similar lineage. i.e. RHEL 7 or CentOS 7 is ideal.
We do this because 1) The official CentOS 7 AMI is an AWS Marketplace offering...which has unfortunate limitations for an open source product. 2) We want full control over the build process.
Coming soon...
