Build Automated Machine Images·packer.io

Packer is a tool that lets you create identical machine images for multiple platforms from a single source template. It can create golden images for use in image pipelines. Packer works with providers such as Amazon Web Services and Docker, and integrates with Terraform for provisioning built images.
