The Future of HCP Packer
summary
A hosted metadata service called HCP Packer registry version-controls packer image iterations (no image blobs stored), lets builds push iterations, marks incomplete runs as unversioned, and exposes channels as mutable pointers to vetted iterations. Templates use HCL data sources to pull upstream images and a Terraform provider (>=0.17) can fetch the exact AMI for applies. Public beta is live, official builders for AWS/Google/Azure/VMware are supported, APIs and UI are available, and audit, deprecation and security gating are planned.
