Issue

• I got access to number of Red Hat AMIs upon enrolling for Red Hat Cloud Access. While I can launch EC2 instances from these AMIs, I am not able to access the actual snapshots underpinning these AMIs because the CreateVolumePermission permission is not granted.

• We are baking our own AMIs based on the RHEL AMIs that Red Hat provides e.g. ami-b79ede8d/ While we can launch an instance from your AMI, install our applications, and then shut it down to bake it, we want to use Packer's chroot tool instead (https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/amazon-chroot.html), as it utilises an already-running instance, and it is also faster.
  This tool creates an EBS volume from the AMI and attaches it to an existing instance, where chroot is then used to provision the system in that volume. This requires the CreateVolumePermission to be set for our account.
