parent f941718c
......@@ -53,4 +53,13 @@ While some configuration settings have local variables specific to only that
configuration, a set of functions are available globally for use in _any string_
in Packer templates. These are listed below for reference.
* ``isotime`` - UTC time in RFC-3339 format.
* ``timestamp`` - The current Unix timestamp in UTC.
## Amazon Specific Functions
Specific to Amazon builders:
* ``clean_ami_name`` - AMI names can only contain certain characters. This
function will replace illegal characters with a '-" character. Example usage
since ":" is not a legal AMI name is: `{{isotime | clean_ami_name}}`.
