About the course
Welcome to the HashiCorp Packer course! In today’s dynamic IT infrastructure landscape, having the ability to create custom images efficiently and consistently is crucial. HashiCorp Packer is a powerful tool that enables you to create images across various platforms, including AWS, Azure, and GCP, and allows automating the entire process.
This course will explore the core features of HashiCorp Packer and equip you with the knowledge to leverage its capabilities effectively. It will begin with the fundamentals of Packer, including its purpose and significance as an essential tool in modern infrastructure management. From there, it will dive into the different components of Packer, such as builders, provisioners, and post-processors, and examine how they contribute to the image creation process.
You will gain hands-on experience with Packer as we guide you step by step through the process of building a custom AMI image. You will learn to configure builders to create images on different platforms, leverage provisioners to install and configure software within the images, and utilize post-processors to perform additional tasks after the image creation.
The course will further delve into the concept of immutable infrastructure and demonstrate how Packer can be a key tool in this architectural approach. You will understand the benefits of immutable infrastructure and learn how Packer supports the creation of immutable image artifacts, allowing for predictable and reproducible infrastructure deployments.
