The legacy JSON templates are JSON files that configure the various components
The JSON templates are JSON files that configure the various components
of Packer in order to create one or more machine images. Templates are
portable, static, and readable and writable by both humans and computers.
This has the added benefit of being able to not only create and modify
templates by hand, but also write scripts to dynamically create or modify
templates.
