Packer

Achieve consistent virtual machine deployments on any platform with Packer, a command-line utility that clones your machine images without requiring rebuilds. By leveraging Packer, you define an image once and replicate it accurately across multiple targets, from public clouds to private data centers. This eliminates discrepancies between environments, improves reliability, and speeds up rollouts. It's an essential tool for modern IT operations, fostering reproducibility and reducing the risk of configuration drift in automated deployment pipelines.
