It is possible for AWS, via AWS Image Builder, which is fully supported through Pulumi.

Hey Augustine, let us look at your questions and respond by tomorrow. We appreciate the interest. 

There is also hashicorp packer for this purposes ( automation vm image building )

Sorry,    not read completely your question.)

You can definitely use Packer or AWS Image Builder for your AMI pipeline process - whichever you prefer.

If you place your app's code in the AMI, then you'd want your AMI pipeline to trigger a `pulumi up -y` at the end, and just target `latest` with `getAmi()`. This will cause the latest version of your app to be deployed.

If you want to integrate everything into a single Pulumi program and you're using Packer, you can use the Command provider to run the `packer` command, but I would probably do my AMI and infra code in separate steps because creating an AMI can take a while and if it fails, you want a faster feedback loop.
