Packer is an open source, automated machine image creation tool. It is designed to create any type of machine image for multiple platforms from a single source configuration.

Lightweight yet modern, Packer encourages the use of automated scripts to install and configure the software within your Packer-made images. It is highly performant, able to run on every major operating system and create machine images for several platforms in parallel. Packer supports a great number of platforms out of the box, and support for other platforms can be added through plugins. Any image it creates can also be easily turned into Vagrant boxes.

Features

  • Modern, automated and fast
  • Built-in support for many platforms, with the ability to add more through plugins
  • Created images can be turned to Vagrant boxes
