What is HashiCorp Packer?
Packer is an open source tool for creating identical machine images for multiple platforms from a single source configuration. Packer can create golden images to use in image pipelines.
HashiCorp states Packer is lightweight, runs on every major operating system, and is 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.
