this means run the inline commands using sudo. packer creates a temp file containing all the inline commands and then executes it. Since, we are running user's deployment script, it is better to use sudo, otherwise script might fail.

Why are we setting mod here? Will it continue to apply after copying more files into this folder below. Otherwise should we do it before script execution. And why 777 and not +x or 700

setting mod here since the next step which is file upload will need this. Packer does not provide a way to tell file upload to be done with sudo(unlike shell provisioner). I had tried with 700, but did not work.
