|
Packer is an open source tool for creating identical machine images for
|
|
multiple platforms from a single source configuration. Packer is lightweight,
|
|
runs on every major operating system, and is highly performant, creating
|
|
machine images for multiple platforms in parallel. Packer does not replace
|
|
configuration management like Chef or Puppet. In fact, when building images,
|
|
Packer is able to use tools like Chef or Puppet to install software onto the
|
|
image.
|
|
|
|
A machine image is a single static unit that contains a pre-configured
|
|
operating system and installed software which is used to quickly create new
|
|
running machines. Machine image formats change for each platform. Some
|
|
examples include AMIs for EC2, VMDK/VMX files for VMware, OVF exports for
|
|
VirtualBox, etc.
