      It would be very useful if we could use a search query for an AMI instead of just a static AMI ID.

      For example, packer lets me do this:

      "source_ami_filter": {
                "most_recent": true,
                "owners": [
                    "099720109477"
                ],
                "filters": {
                    "root-device-type": "ebs",
                    "state": "available",
                    "name": "ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-bionic-18.04-amd64-server-*",
                    "virtualization-type": "hvm",
                    "image-type": "machine",
                    "architecture": "x86_64"
                }
            }

      to use the most recent ubuntu 18.04 AMI every time it is run.
