commands on the host after a build has completed for custom packaging or
publishing of your artifacts [GH-2706]

processing. This allows you to extract artifacts from a packer builder and
use them with other post-processors like compress, docker, and Atlas.

loaded from disk. Please make sure your plugins are up-to-date! [GH-2854]
