# Atlas Post-Processor
|
||||
|
||||
Type: `atlas`
|
||||
|
||||
The Atlas post-processor for Packer receives an artifact from a Packer build and uploads it to Atlas. [Atlas](https://atlas.hashicorp.com) hosts and serves artifacts, allowing you to version and distribute them in a simple way.
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
To take full advantage of Packer and Atlas, it's important to understand the
|
||||
workflow for creating artifacts with Packer and storing them in Atlas using this post-processor. The goal of the Atlas post-processor is to streamline the distribution of public or private artifacts by hosting them in a central location in Atlas.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example workflow:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Packer builds an AMI with the [Amazon AMI builder](http://www.packer.io/docs/builders/amazon.html)
|
||||
2. The `atlas` post-processor takes the resulting AMI and uploads it to Atlas. The `atlas` post-processor is configured with the name of the AMI, for example `hashicorp/foobar`, to create the artifact in Atlas or update the version if the artifact already exists
|
||||
4. The version is released and available to be used in deployments with a tool like [Terraform](https://terraform.io)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
The configuration allows you to specify and access the artifact in Atlas.
|
||||
|
||||
### Required:
|
||||
|
||||
* `token` (string) - Your access token for the Atlas API.
|
||||
This can be generated on your [tokens page](https://atlas.hashicorp.com/settings/tokens). Alternatively you can export your Atlas token as an environmental variable and remove it from the configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
* `artifact` (string) - The shorthand tag for your artifact that maps to
|
||||
Atlas, i.e `hashicorp/foobar` for `atlas.hashicorp.com/hashicorp/foobar`. You must
|
||||
have access to the organization, hashicorp in this example, in order to add an artifact to
|
||||
the organization in Atlas.
|
||||
|
||||
* `artifact_type` (string) - For uploading AMIs to Atlas, `artifact_type` will always be `aws.ami`.
|
||||
This field must be defined because Atlas can host other artifact types, such as Vagrant boxes.
|
||||
|
||||
### Optional:
|
||||
|
||||
* `atlas_url` (string) - Override the base URL for Atlas. This
|
||||
is useful if you're using Atlas Enterprise in your own network. Defaults
|
||||
to `https://atlas.hashicorp.com/api/v1`.
|
||||
|
||||
* `metadata` (map) - Send metadata about the artifact.
|
||||
|
||||
