This follows #8232 which added the code to generate the code required to parse
HCL files for each packer component.
All old config files of packer will keep on working the same. Packer takes one
argument. When a directory is passed, all files in the folder with a name
ending with “.pkr.hcl” or “.pkr.json” will be parsed using the HCL2 format.
When a file ending with “.pkr.hcl” or “.pkr.json” is passed it will be parsed
using the HCL2 format. For every other case; the old packer style will be used.
## 1. the hcl2template pkg can create a packer.Build from a set of HCL (v2) files
I had to make the packer.coreBuild (which is our one and only packer.Build ) a public struct with public fields
## 2. Components interfaces get a new ConfigSpec Method to read a file from an HCL file.
This is a breaking change for packer plugins.
a packer component can be a: builder/provisioner/post-processor
each component interface now gets a `ConfigSpec() hcldec.ObjectSpec`
which allows packer to tell what is the layout of the hcl2 config meant
to configure that specific component.
This ObjectSpec is sent through the wire (RPC) and a cty.Value is now
sent through the already existing configuration entrypoints:
Provisioner.Prepare(raws ...interface{}) error
Builder.Prepare(raws ...interface{}) ([]string, error)
PostProcessor.Configure(raws ...interface{}) error

Example hcl files:
```hcl
// file amazon-ebs-kms-key/run.pkr.hcl
build {
sources = [
"source.amazon-ebs.first",
]
provisioner "shell" {
inline = [
"sleep 5"
]
}
post-processor "shell-local" {
inline = [
"sleep 5"
]
}
}
// amazon-ebs-kms-key/source.pkr.hcl
source "amazon-ebs" "first" {
ami_name = "hcl2-test"
region = "us-east-1"
instance_type = "t2.micro"
kms_key_id = "c729958f-c6ba-44cd-ab39-35ab68ce0a6c"
encrypt_boot = true
source_ami_filter {
filters {
virtualization-type = "hvm"
name = "amzn-ami-hvm-????.??.?.????????-x86_64-gp2"
root-device-type = "ebs"
}
most_recent = true
owners = ["amazon"]
}
launch_block_device_mappings {
device_name = "/dev/xvda"
volume_size = 20
volume_type = "gp2"
delete_on_termination = "true"
}
launch_block_device_mappings {
device_name = "/dev/xvdf"
volume_size = 500
volume_type = "gp2"
delete_on_termination = true
encrypted = true
}
ami_regions = ["eu-central-1"]
run_tags {
Name = "packer-solr-something"
stack-name = "DevOps Tools"
}
communicator = "ssh"
ssh_pty = true
ssh_username = "ec2-user"
associate_public_ip_address = true
}

It is simply the best/simplest solution and trying to prevent users from passing and integer here would be like opening a can of worms. Because:
* we cannot make mapstructure validate our duration string ( with an UnmarshalJSON func etc.)
* we cannot make mapstructure spit a string instead of a duration and packer will decode-encode-decode config.
* the hcl2 generated code asks for a string, so this will be enforced by default.
Before this commit it was possible to set a duration using an integer or a float. Go's time.Duration is an int64 internally an mapstructure will take advantage of this and load the number as a int64 but `1` means one ns which is unexpected/confusing. To avoid confusion and enforce readability this forces users to pass a string with a unit for a duration; ex "56s".
* make CustomerEncryptionKey our own type so that it can be hcl2 generated
* make Account setting unexported so that it doesn't temper with HCL2 generation ( the field is set a bit later after processing )
* removed packer.Cache and references since packer.Cache is never used except in the download step. The download step now uses the new func packer.CachePath(targetPath) for this, the behavior is the same.
* removed download code from packer that was reimplemented into the go-getter library: progress bar, http download restart, checksuming from file, skip already downloaded files, symlinking, make a download cancellable by context.
* on windows if packer is running without symlinking rights and we are getting a local file, the file will be copied instead to avoid errors.
* added unit tests for step_download that are now CI tested on windows, mac & linux.
* files are now downloaded under cache dir `sha1(filename + "?checksum=" + checksum) + file_extension`
* since the output dir is based on the source url and the checksum, when the checksum fails, the file is auto deleted.
* a download file is protected and locked by a file lock,
* updated docs
* updated go modules and vendors
If instance has a different DNS/search domain then "metadata" alone won't work. The FQDN of "metadata.google.internal" is included in hosts file, and will work regardless of DNS configuration. Alternatively the IP 169.254.169.254 can be used.
Because of deficiencies in the encrypted-PEM format, it's not always possible to detect an incorrect
password. In these cases no error will be returned but the decrypted DER bytes will be random noise.
this closes#3337
There were 5 different formats for the Packer useragent string. This
fixes that and unifies it into a helper package.
I did not touch oracle's user-agent, because it looked kinda special.
This change requires 'disable_default_service_account=false' in order to
set 'service_account_email'.
This is a guard against an incorrect assumption
that disabling the default service account would mean that no service
account would be used.
