Subject: Remove the -only CLI option for packer build
X-Git-Tag: v0.60.1^0
X-Git-Url: https://gerrit.linuxfoundation.org/infra/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=refs%2Fchanges%2F29%2F66529%2F2;p=releng%2Fglobal-jjb.git

Remove the -only CLI option for packer build

Remove the -only CLI option for packer build

The #CR 90dd675df482a8 submitted with common-packer v0.7.0
fails to build packer jobs because of a bug in the packer build CLI.

The `-only` option packer build CLI does not set the cloud provider
name/type as per the documentation. The alternative is to use an environment
variable that is passed through the packer job and can be reference in the
packer templates.
