Packer is an open-source tool by HashiCorp used to automate the creation of machine images for multiple platforms (such as AWS AMIs, Docker images, or VMware templates) from a single configuration file. DevOps engineers use it to build consistent, repeatable infrastructure images as part of CI/CD pipelines. It integrates well with other HashiCorp tools like Terraform and Vagrant.
