Overview of the Issue

During a Windows AMI creation, using the Amazon EBS Source, the feature related to Fast Launch is returning the following error:
Failed to enable fast launch: %!s(<nil>)

Important to mention, I tested with a custom fast-launch template forcing a default VPC, but the issue still occurs.

Reproduction Steps

To reproduce the issue, you can use an AMI template using the Amazon EBS source and enable the Fast Launch feature to Windows AMI

Packer version
