What is Packer?

Packer is an open-source tool from HashiCorp for building identical machine images for multiple platforms from a single source configuration. It automates the process of creating virtual machine images and container images, allowing for consistent and reproducible builds across different environments (e.g., AWS, Azure, VMware, Docker). This ensures that applications are deployed with the same configuration, regardless of the underlying infrastructure, improving reliability and speed of deployment.
