packerpy
I built this module to help automate packer builds in python code. I found it to be nearly
impossible to scale packer builds for a pipeline or automated environment without forking
the code from packer's golang implementation.
Requirements
Installation
pip install PackerBuilder (PyPi)
Documentation
PackerBuilder: This class is extendable (as shown in
packerpy.examples.ami_builder) in order to allow for a custom implementation
of any packer builder plugin. The PackerBuilder will generate a json packer configuration file that can
be executed by the packer cli.
PackerClient: This is a utility class built to interact with the packer cli.
models: The models submodule contains objects that map to packer config blocks in the
.pkr.json file that gets generated.
