Description
Packer CloudStack plug-in always try to associate a public IP address. Some CloudStack instances do not allow users to associate public IP address to virtual machines, leading Packer to fail with message "Failed to associate public IP address...".
Amazon EBS plugin for instance has a flag `associate_public_ip_address` allowing sources not to be associated to public IP address. Can we have this flag for CloudStack too?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the CloudStack builder code that always associates a public IP, then compare it with the Amazon EBS plugin's associate_public_ip_address flag mentioned in the issue. Add equivalent configuration for CloudStack and verify that disabling it avoids the association attempt while existing behavior remains available.
