Create and start VyOS builder container

##
## on builder VM as USERNAME
##
git clone -b current --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
# for future run cd into directory and use git pull instead of git clone
cd vyos-build/
docker build -t vyos/vyos-build:current docker
docker run --rm -it --privileged -v $(pwd):/vyos -w /vyos vyos/vyos-build:current bash

Build VyOS ISO

##
## on builder docker container
##
./configure --architecture amd64 --build-by "USERNAME@DOMAIN.TLD"
sudo make AWS
ls -l build/

Upload ISO to S3 and convert to AMI.
You will want to make sure you upload the file to a public bucket, or make the object public after upload.
