Packer on Windows Server 2022 Domain Control

Packer is an excellent instrument called to prepare an image that has the necessary minimum, mainly OS and runtime, but you can also add any operations, including git clone..., bash scripts, Ansible roles, and deploy applications on this image. It’s an instrument called to simplify your routine while deploying and testing the product.

These images, that Packer creates, allow you to run virtual machines with the necessary ready-made settings and installed software. Packer is able to create images for such systems as Amazon EC2, DigitalOcean, Docker, Google Compute Engine, OpenStack, Parallels, QEMU, VirtualBox, VMware, etc.

If you choose Packer to build images, you will always have an automatically built image, the repository will have all the steps for building, a history of what is happening, and how this image will change over time. Accordingly, you can always easily go back, take the old version and work with it.

Another plus is a quick deployment in specific cases. Many pre-sale activities need a specific configuration, a separate environment where a potential client can go and see what they need. And Packer is actually able to give us the necessary result.

Packer comes with numerous features:

• It uses a declarative approach to define machine image configurations as code.
• The tool promotes the concept of immutable infrastructure.
• Packer enables parallel and incremental image builds, saving time and resources.
• It supports automated testing of machine images by integrating with testing frameworks.
• Packer encourages the reuse of common infrastructure components across different images.
