Packer is a tool for building identical machine images for multiple platforms
from a single source configuration.
2013-06-09 01:35:58 -04:00
Packer is lightweight, runs on every major operating system, and is highly
performant, creating machine images for multiple platforms in parallel. Packer
2018-02-16 15:06:06 -05:00
comes out of the box with support for many platforms, the full list of which can
be found at https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/index.html.
Support for other platforms can be added via plugins.
The images that Packer creates can easily be turned into
2013-06-28 09:36:01 -04:00
[Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com) boxes.

## Quick Start
2013-06-28 09:36:01 -04:00
**Note:** There is a great
2017-06-21 23:35:55 -04:00
[introduction and getting started guide](https://www.packer.io/intro)
2013-06-28 09:36:01 -04:00
for those with a bit more patience. Otherwise, the quick start below
will get you up and running quickly, at the sacrifice of not explaining some
key points.
2018-04-02 13:59:59 -04:00
First, [download a pre-built Packer
binary](https://www.packer.io/downloads.html) for your operating system or
[compile Packer
yourself](https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md#setting-up-go-to-work-on-packer).

After Packer is installed, create your first template, which tells Packer
what platforms to build images for and how you want to build them. In our
case, we'll create a simple AMI that has Redis pre-installed. Save this
file as `quick-start.json`. Export your AWS credentials as the
`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` environment variables.
2013-06-09 01:35:58 -04:00
```json
{
"variables": {
"access_key": "{{env `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`}}",
"secret_key": "{{env `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`}}"
},
2013-06-09 01:35:58 -04:00
"builders": [{
"type": "amazon-ebs",
"access_key": "{{user `access_key`}}",
"secret_key": "{{user `secret_key`}}",
2013-06-09 01:35:58 -04:00
"region": "us-east-1",
2017-02-21 13:53:32 -05:00
"source_ami": "ami-af22d9b9",
2017-02-10 02:22:31 -05:00
"instance_type": "t2.micro",
2013-06-09 01:35:58 -04:00
"ssh_username": "ubuntu",
2013-08-08 20:01:41 -04:00
"ami_name": "packer-example {{timestamp}}"
2013-06-09 01:35:58 -04:00
}]
}
```
Next, tell Packer to build the image:
2013-03-23 18:59:17 -04:00
```
2013-05-09 00:09:19 -04:00
$ packer build quick-start.json
2013-03-23 18:59:17 -04:00
...
```
Packer will build an AMI according to the "quick-start" template. The AMI
will be available in your AWS account. To delete the AMI, you must manually
delete it using the [AWS console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/). Packer
builds your images, it does not manage their lifecycle. Where they go, how
they're run, etc., is up to you.
