Hi Team,

I am using packer version=1.3.1 and running into following error when try to encrypt the root volume.

Error details: Error waiting for instance(instance_id) to become ready: ResourceNotReady: failed waiting for successful resource state

Any help would be much appreciated.

Attaching the partial template that we are using.
