Tell us about your request
I'm trying to install and execute several ansible playbooks to my AMI using EC2ImageBuilder.

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?
I believe the Download Cloudwatch agent step concurrently executed with the S3 Download phase (which is a very rare event)
And this led to the dpkg frontend lock as the download process acquires a sudo/lock till it is completed

These steps should execute in isolation so as to eliminate the occurrence of such execution errors.
As the control is with TOE, implementing such process/component/task level isolation is bit difficult.

Are you currently working around this issue?
No, the issue is very rare. Re-executing/Rebuilding the pipeline would probably solve this issue
