 Now you will be able to build an image and deploy it to Imagecentral.
 
+### Image Accessability
+This project is setup to build publicly accessible images.  To change it to
+build private images please refer to the [packer documentation](https://packer.io/docs/builders/amazon-ebs.html)
+for `ami_users` and `snapshot_users`options.
+
+### Testing
+As a pre-deployment step we syntatically validate our packer json
+files with [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com).
+
+Please install pre-commit, once installed the file validations will
+automatically run on every commit.  Alternatively you can manually
+execute the validations by running `pre-commit run --all-files`.

 ### Manual AMI Build
 If you would like to test building an AMI run:
 ```
 cd src
+packer plugins install github.com/hashicorp/amazon
+packer plugins install github.com/hashicorp/ansible
 AWS_PROFILE=packer-service-imagecentral AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1 packer build -var AmiImageName=my-test-image -var PACKER_LOG=1 template.json

  * Packer deploys a new AMI to the AWS account specified by the AwsProfile
  * Subsequent builds may require the [-force](https://packer.io/docs/commands/build.html#force) flag
