Custom AMI ( Packer )

[talcoh2x]

Hi,
I’m using a custom AMI that I built with Packer and Ansible. Once the new image is uploaded, I noticed that the Lambda runner still checks/gets the EC2 info (AMI ID) from the launch template. Therefore, I had to manually edit the template with the new AMI ID.

I have a lot of experience with Kubernetes environments using ARC, but I need help with some best practices here. Should I create a custom flow that creates the AMI and updates the launch template? If I need to go in a different direction, it would be nice to get feedback here.
