I saw that knife windows plugin let use custom URL to specify location from where to get msi. AFAIK ec2 plugin has its own bootstrap logic.

There is a --msi-url option to control where to download the MSI from. You can also make your own custom bootstrap template if you need even more control. Relevant code https://github.com/chef/knife-ec2/blob/master/lib/chef/knife/ec2_server_create.rb#L747
