I am baking an image in Azure using packer.
Base image is Centos 7.4

If I run packer from MacOS image bakes successfully.
If I try to bake the exact same image from Ubuntu it is failing. Our build 
server bamboo is running on Ubuntu 16.04

Here is the error

msg": "The destination directory (/etc) is not writable by the current user. 
Error was: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/.ansible_tmpnMneufhost.conf'" [0m


It is failing while running ansible playbook. It is trying to write in /etc 
directory and does not have permissions.


I did set

    "ssh_pty": true,



Here is how I am invoking ansible playbook

    {
      "type": "ansible",
      "playbook_file": "./server-hardening.yml",
      "extra_arguments": [ "-vvvv" ]
    },  


I have tried updating the ansible playbook like this:


- hosts: all
  become: true
  become_method: sudo
  become_user: root  


But I still get the same error.



We are also baking a Ubuntu 16.04 using similar playbook and it is working.


To summarize I can bake Centos 7.4 by running packer build from Mac OS but the 
same configuration fails to build when packer is run from Ubuntu 16.04 build 
server.


Let me know if anybody has any suggestions.


Thanks
