          <h2>Modern, Automated</h2>
          <p>
            Packer is easy to use and automates the creation of any type of
            machine image. It embraces modern configuration management by
            encouraging you to use automated scripts to install and configure
            the software within your Packer-made images. Packer brings machine
            images into the modern age, unlocking untapped potential and opening
            new opportunities.
