Asked by Akash

When I am trying to build image from packer maas, after the build command "PACKER_LOG=1 packer build -var kernel=linux-image-5.15.0-136-generic -var customize_script=scripts/tata/test-phase1.sh -var customize_script2=scripts/tata/test-phase2.sh -var ubuntu_series=jammy -only='cloudimg.*' . it shows "packer plugin qemu handshake failed" and attempting ssh handshake again and again. Do anyone faced this challenge, can somone explain the root cause for this

Seems to be waiting for the VM to come up....maybe?

Thanks actionparsnip, that solved my question. Actually we need to wait for a the vm to boot so the ssh handshake can be accomplished. It took around 3 to 5 mins for the vm to come up and getting ssh handshake to complete.
