Packer is an open-source tool that empowers users to create consistent machine images for various platforms using a single source template. A typical use case involves crafting “golden images” that can be shared among teams across an organization for cloud infrastructure purposes.
The HCP Packer registry acts as a link between image factories and image deployments, facilitating collaboration between development and security teams to efficiently create, manage, and utilize golden images in a centralized manner.
Within the HCP Packer registry, essential metadata about your images is stored, including creation timestamps, cloud locations, and any associated git commits from the image build process. This registry allows you to monitor vital information about the golden images produced by Packer, clearly distinguish images suitable for testing and production environments, and easily retrieve the appropriate golden images for both Packer and Terraform configurations.
