Packer is a tool for building identical machine images for multiple platforms
|
|
from a single source configuration.
|
|
|
|
Packer is lightweight, runs on every major operating system, and is highly
|
|
performant, creating machine images for multiple platforms in parallel. Packer
|
|
comes out of the box with support for the following platforms:
|
|
|
|
* Amazon EC2 (AMI). Both EBS-backed and instance-store AMIs
|
|
* DigitalOcean
|
|
* Docker
|
|
* Google Compute Engine
|
|
* OpenStack
|
|
* Parallels
|
|
* QEMU. Both KVM and Xen images.
|
|
* VirtualBox
|
|
* VMware
|
|
|
|
Support for other platforms can be added via plugins.
|
|
|
|
The images that Packer creates can easily be turned into Vagrant boxes.
