AMI cached docker images are not present on instances with EnableDockerUserNamespaceRemap: true

[keithduncan]

Ideally we can find a way to produce an AMI which when built upon to cache resources supports both EnableDockerUserNamespaceRemap: true and EnableDockerUserNamespaceRemap: false.

Presently the best workaround to support pre-cached images is to set EnableDockerUserNamespaceRemap: false in you stack’s parameters.

Are there docs for AMI cached docker images?

We'd be interested in this (we're already running a fork of the stack) to improve build performance re: downloading the docker images for some slow moving service dependencies that we use via docker-compose.

There aren’t docs at this time. We’ve had success using buildkite/image-builder or packer to build on top of our base images and run docker pull. The resulting image can then be passed to a stack using the ImageId or ImageIdParameter template parameters.
