Packer on Linux Stream 8

Packer is a powerful software that helps developers quickly create identical machine images for multiple platforms from a single source configuration. It automates the process of creating identical machine images for multiple platforms.

Packer can build images for various platforms, including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Docker, VirtualBox, and many more. It also supports the creation of virtual machines and containers, and can even be used to build custom images.

Packer also includes several automation features that make it easier to use. Packer defines the image's configuration using a JSON file format, which might contain the installation of software packages, configuration files, and other settings.

Packer also includes a number of security features to protect machine images. It can encrypt images, and can also be used to set up authentication and authorization for images. Additionally, Packer can scan images for security vulnerabilities before they are deployed.
