The problem in this question resembles SSH failed when building RancherOS with Packer
However, the behavior of my Packer is different. I get
==> virtualbox-iso: Error waiting for SSH: ssh: handshake failed: ssh:
unable to authenticate, attempted methods [none password keyboard-
interactive], no supported methods remain
I am not sure why Packer is not able to ssh into the VM. I can see VirtualBox Console Screen sits on a login input. Then it timeouts and gets discarded by packer's process.

Edit: Added these lines in the builder and removed their equivalents from provisioners. This still does not solve the other steps that I want to have, but at least cloud-config is uploaded and configuration can be done.
