Packer templates to create cloud images.

• Packer >= 1.7.0

Clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/flaudisio/bootcamp-packer-templates.git
$ cd packer-templates/

Choose a template and set credentials according to its builders:

$ cd templates/ubuntu-base/
$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<ACCESS_KEY>
$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<SECRET_KEY>

Validate and build the images:

$ packer init .
$ packer validate .
$ packer build .

If applicable, use -only to build specific images:

$ packer build -only amazon-ebs.amd64 .

• Packer manifest filenames end with .pkr.hcl

• Templates are organized using the following files:

  • versions.pkr.hcl: required Packer version and plugins (if applicable)
  • variables.pkr.hcl: template variables
  • build.pkr.hcl: locals, data sources, sources and builds
