# Provisioners
|
|
|
|
Provisioners use builtin and third-party software to install and configure the
|
|
machine image after booting. Provisioners prepare the system for use, so common
|
|
use cases for provisioners include:
|
|
|
|
- installing packages
|
|
- patching the kernel
|
|
- creating users
|
|
- downloading application code
|
|
|
|
See the [`provisioner`](/docs/templates/hcl_templates/blocks/build/provisioner) block documentation to learn more
|
|
about working with provisioners. For information on an individual provisioner,
|
|
choose it from the sidebar.
