# 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.
|
|
|
|
See the [`source`](/docs/templates/hcl_templates/blocks/source) block documentation to learn more
|
|
about configuring builders in the Packer language.
|
|
For information on an individual builder, choose it from the sidebar. Each
|
|
builder has its own configuration options and parameters.
