# Builders
|
|
|
|
Builders are responsible for creating machines and generating images from them
|
|
for various platforms. For example, there are separate builders for EC2,
|
|
VMware, VirtualBox, etc. Packer comes with many builders by default, and can
|
|
also be extended to add new builders.
|
|
|
|
To learn more about an individual builder, choose it from the sidebar. Each
|
|
builder has its own configuration options and parameters.
