HashiCorp Packer is an open-source tool for automating the creation of machine images (like AMIs, VM templates, or Docker images) from a single declarative configuration file. DevOps and infrastructure engineers use it to build consistent, repeatable images across multiple platforms such as AWS, Azure, VMware, and Docker. It's typically used alongside tools like Terraform in infrastructure-as-code pipelines to ensure environments are reproducible and version-controlled.
