Packer is an open source tool for creating 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 does not replace configuration management like Chef or Puppet. In fact, when building images, Packer is able to use tools like Chef or Puppet to install software onto the image.
|
||||
|
||||
A machine image is a single static unit that contains a pre-configured operating system and installed software which is used to quickly create new running machines. Machine image formats change for each platform. Some examples include AMIs for EC2, VMDK/VMX files for VMware, OVF exports for VirtualBox, etc. To know more about use cases of Packer click ([Use Cases - Introduction | Packer by HashiCorp](https://www.packer.io/intro/use-cases))

- Data Sources allow users to retrieve values from a remote API and store them as variables in the Packer configuration template. An example is the [AWS secrets manager](https://www.packer.io/docs/datasources/amazon/secretsmanager) data source.

- **Builders**
|
||||
- Builders manage the VM lifecycle. They manage launching a vm/instance, running provisioners against that instance, shutting the instance down, and saving an artifact image from that instance. Your builder handles all of the setup and cleanup costs associated with creating the output image artifact.

Packer requires all code-level integrations to be written in the [Go](https://golang.org/) programming language and contain an [MPL-2.0](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Public_License) open source license. The only knowledge necessary to write a plugin is basic command-line skills and knowledge of the Go programming language. When writing in Go-Language, HashiCorp has found the integration development process to be straightforward and simple when vendors pay close attention and follow the resources and by adopting the same structure and coding patterns helps expedite the review and release cycles. Please remember that all integration major steps should contain acceptance testing and the appropriate documentation.

During the review process, HashiCorp will provide feedback on the newly developed integration. This is an important step to allow HashiCorp to review and verify your Packer integration. Please send the integration code and other relevant logs for verification to: [Packer-integration-dev@hashicorp.com](mailto:packer-integration-dev@hashicorp.com).

At this stage, it is expected that the integration is fully complete, the necessary documentation has been written, the acceptance tests have all passed, and that HashiCorp has reviewed the integration. Once the plugin has been validated and accepted by HashiCorp, the plugin can be hosted on GitHub so it can easily be [downloaded then installed within Packer](https://www.packer.io/docs/plugins/creation#creating-a-github-release).
