Packer is a tool for creating identical machine images for multiple platforms
Hey everyone. Packer guy here. I've been working on Packer the past couple months and I think its time to bring this to the public. I'm happy to answer any questions you have.<p>I want to stress that this is the _first public release_. There is a lot of work to be done and a lot of improvements to be made. It may not be "production ready" but it is definitely "experimentation ready." Although I know many companies already starting to use this in production.<p>I also want to note that although I made Vagrant as well, Packer is not tied to Vagrant in ANY WAY. Packer stands on its own as an extremely useful tool. However, Packer can be used to make Vagrant boxes, as well.<p>ENJOY!
