Description

_This issue was originally opened by @arslan70 as hashicorp/packer#10480. It was migrated here as a result of the [Packer plugin split](https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/issues/8610#issuecomment-770034737). The original body of the issue is below._


As the title says, ec2 instance fails to boot up. System status shows 1/2 health check failed. There is very little information in the system log. AWS support is not able to help either.

The main purpose to use amazon-ebssurrogate is to use arm64 architecture which is not supported by amazon-ebs. I doubt that its actually a packer issue, mostly like bad config on my part. Will appreciate some support
