Packer is an open source, automated machine image creation tool. It is designed to create any type of machine image for multiple platforms from a single source configuration.
Lightweight yet modern, Packer encourages the use of automated scripts to install and configure the software within your Packer-made images. It is highly performant, able to run on every major operating system and create machine images for several platforms in parallel. Packer supports a great number of platforms out of the box, and support for other platforms can be added through plugins. Any image it creates can also be easily turned into Vagrant boxes.
