Packer is an open-source tool that empowers users to create identical machine images for multiple platforms using a single source template. A common use case for Packer is to generate “golden images,” which can be utilized by different teams within an organization for their cloud infrastructure needs.
The HCP Packer registry serves as a bridge between image creation and deployment processes. It facilitates collaboration between development and security teams, simplifying the creation, management, and utilization of standardized golden images from a centralized platform.
Within the HCP Packer registry, essential metadata about your images is stored. This information includes details such as the image creation timestamp, its storage location in the cloud, and any associated git commit information linked to the image build. The registry proves invaluable for tracking information about the golden images generated by Packer, enabling clear categorization of images suitable for testing and production environments. It also streamlines the selection of the appropriate golden images for use in both Packer and Terraform configurations.
