HashiCorp Packer is a tool for creating machine images that can be used with various cloud providers, virtualization platforms, or container systems. In addition to the builders, Packer also uses provisioners to install and configure software inside the machine image. Here are some of the available provisioners in Packer:
- Shell provisioner
- Ansible provisioner
- Chef provisioner
- Puppet provisioner
- Salt provisioner
- PowerShell provisioner
- File provisioner
- Docker provisioner
- Habitat provisioner
Each provisioner has its own set of configuration options and is responsible for installing and configuring software inside the machine image. Provisioners can also be used in combination with builders to create complex machine images that require multiple software installations and configurations.
