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"

* Adding NSG to the ARM eployment template when needed
* Adding tests and fixing bugs
* Removing denyall rule
* Fixing logic to determine which port to open
* Fixing config description
Export a configuration knob to change the disk caching setting. The
default value remains ReadWrite. This seems the most appropriate value
given Packer. Certain disk sizes require that disk caching be disable,
and this knob allows the user to do just that.
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.
Run now takes a context as well as a statebag. We'll assign the context
to the blank identifier to prevent namespace collisions. We'll let the
step authors opt-in to using the context.
`find . -iname "step_*.go" -exec gsed -i'' 's/func \(.*\)Run(/func \1Run(_ context.Context, /' {} \;`
* Created a new parameter for using existing resource groups
* Implemented logic to ensure temp_ and build_ can't both be used
* Implemented logic to ensure they can only be used in correct context
* Implemented tests for this logic
* Updated where required to ensure the process works
This changeset will detect if the defined temporary resource group
already exists. If it does, it will not destroy it, but clean up
every resource required for building that is created by Packer
individually, both on success and failure.
Unit tests have been fixed, but more tests should be added for the new
functionalities.
There are two types for storage profile, but they use the same
serialization name (storageProfile). This creates problems, so I worked
around it by taking the union of this type as well as OS Disk.
The OAuth code was moved to the adal package.
Authorizers now ues an interface instead of a simple token.
Long running operations return a channel for the operation, and the
error.
Two new configuration options have been exposed to allow users to specify
an existing virtual network: virtual_network_name and
virtual_network_resource_group_name.
* virtual_network_name: name of the virtual network to attach a Packer VM
to.
* virtual_network_resource_group_name: name of the resource group that
contains the virtual network. This value is optional. If the value is
not specified, the builder queries Azure for the appropriate value. If
the builder cannot disambiguate the value, a value must be provided for
this setting.
* virtual_network_subnet_name: name of the subnet attached to the virtual
network. This value is optional. If the value is not specified, the
builder queries Azure for the appropriate value. If the builder cannot
disambiguate the value, a value must be provided for this setting.
* azure-sdk-for-go to 3.1.0-beta
* go-autorest to 7.0.7
* dgrijalva/jwt-go to 3.0.0
Add the German cloud configuration.
Ensure the different cloud URLs are _actually_ used.
