You are correct, Reckardo. I have found the supported documentation as below. I'm in the middle of the project creating AmI and distribute AMIs to different accounts.
Marketplace AMI cannot be moved between accounts due to license restrictions Source: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/CopyingAMIs.html You can't copy an AMI with an associated billingProduct code that was shared with you from another account. This includes Windows AMIs and AMIs from the AWS Marketplace. To copy a shared AMI with a billingProduct code, launch an EC2 instance in your account using the shared AMI and then create an AMI from the instance. For more information, see Creating an Amazon EBS-Backed Linux AMI. My current work around is to build an AMI using marketplace Centos7 from packer but the product code remained. However, I shared AMI to the target account and start an ec2 instance, then I create AMI from it, then the product code is not there. I'm thinking about automating the work around in boto3 but is there anything I can the same result using packer? Will amazon-ebsvolume instead of aws-ebs work? John.
