Run a reliable Packer pipeline
This document outlines implementation resources for maintaining reliable Packer pipelines. When you implement proper reliability measures, you ensure high availability, fault tolerance, and consistent performance of your Packer pipelines.
Automation
Implement automation to build consistent and secure images.
- Build a golden image pipeline with HCP Packer to allow developers to focus on the application instead of system dependencies and patches.
- Automate Packer with GitHub Actions and Packer templates.
- Run unattended installations for Debian and Windows.
- Use Packer to streamline your container or VM application deployments.
Compliance
Enforce your organization's compliance best practices and revoke compromised artifacts.
- Schedule artifact version revocation.
- Identify compromised artifacts with HCP Terraform.
- Enforce artifact compliance with HCP Terraform.
- Revoke an artifact and its descendants using inherited revocation with HCP Terraform.
