There are many configuration options available for the builder. They are
segmented below into two categories: required and optional parameters. Within
each category, the available configuration keys are alphabetized.
There are many configuration options available for the builder. In addition to
the items listed here, you will want to look at the general configuration
references for [AMI](#ami-configuration),

necessary for this build to succeed and can be found further down the page.

guest additions ISO from the internet.
- `guest_additions_interface` (string) - The interface type to use to mount
guest additions when guest_additions_mode is set to attach. Will
default to the value set in iso_interface, if iso_interface is set.
Will default to "ide", if iso_interface is not set. Options are "ide" and
"sata".
- `guest_additions_interface` (string) - The interface type to use to mount guest additions when
guest_additions_mode is set to attach. Will default to the value set in
iso_interface, if iso_interface is set. Will default to "ide", if
iso_interface is not set. Options are "ide" and "sata".
- `guest_os_type` (string) - The guest OS type being installed. By default
this is other, but you can get dramatic performance improvements by
setting this to the proper value. To view all available values for this run
VBoxManage list ostypes. Setting the correct value hints to VirtualBox how
to optimize the virtual hardware to work best with that operating system.

- `hard_drive_discard` (bool) - When this value is set to true, a VDI
image will be shrunk in response to the trim command from the guest OS.
The size of the cleared area must be at least 1MB. Also set
hard_drive_nonrotational to true to enable TRIM support.
- `hard_drive_discard` (bool) - When this value is set to true, a VDI image will be shrunk in response
to the trim command from the guest OS. The size of the cleared area must
be at least 1MB. Also set hard_drive_nonrotational to true to enable
TRIM support.
- `hard_drive_interface` (string) - The type of controller that the primary
hard drive is attached to, defaults to ide. When set to sata, the drive
is attached to an AHCI SATA controller. When set to scsi, the drive is
attached to an LsiLogic SCSI controller.
- `hard_drive_interface` (string) - The type of controller that the primary hard drive is attached to,
defaults to ide. When set to sata, the drive is attached to an AHCI SATA
controller. When set to scsi, the drive is attached to an LsiLogic SCSI
controller.
- `sata_port_count` (int) - The number of ports available on any SATA
controller created, defaults to 1. VirtualBox supports up to 30 ports on a
maximum of 1 SATA controller. Increasing this value can be useful if you
want to attach additional drives.
- `sata_port_count` (int) - The number of ports available on any SATA controller created, defaults
to 1. VirtualBox supports up to 30 ports on a maximum of 1 SATA
controller. Increasing this value can be useful if you want to attach
additional drives.
- `hard_drive_nonrotational` (bool) - Forces some guests (i.e. Windows 7+)
to treat disks as SSDs and stops them from performing disk fragmentation.
Also set hard_drive_discard to true to enable TRIM support.
- `hard_drive_nonrotational` (bool) - Forces some guests (i.e. Windows 7+) to treat disks as SSDs and stops
them from performing disk fragmentation. Also set hard_drive_discard to
true to enable TRIM support.
- `iso_interface` (string) - The type of controller that the ISO is attached
to, defaults to ide. When set to sata, the drive is attached to an AHCI
SATA controller.
- `iso_interface` (string) - The type of controller that the ISO is attached to, defaults to ide.
When set to sata, the drive is attached to an AHCI SATA controller.
- `keep_registered` (bool) - Set this to true if you would like to keep
the VM registered with virtualbox. Defaults to false.
- `keep_registered` (bool) - Set this to true if you would like to keep the VM registered with
virtualbox. Defaults to false.
- `skip_export` (bool) - Defaults to false. When enabled, Packer will
not export the VM. Useful if the build output is not the resultant image,
but created inside the VM.
- `skip_export` (bool) - Defaults to false. When enabled, Packer will not export the VM. Useful
if the build output is not the resultant image, but created inside the
VM.
- `vm_name` (string) - This is the name of the OVF file for the new virtual
machine, without the file extension. By default this is packer-BUILDNAME,
where "BUILDNAME" is the name of the build.
- `vm_name` (string) - This is the name of the OVF file for the new virtual machine, without
the file extension. By default this is packer-BUILDNAME, where
"BUILDNAME" is the name of the build.
