Packer Tool

Downloads & installs specified version of packer and adds it to the tool cache.

Packer

Execute packer commands. By selecting your Azure or AWS service connection, the authorization and values are resolved from that and provided as variables to your packer template.

Azure required variables:

data variable name
service principal id client_id
serivice principal key client_secret
subscription id subscription_id
tenant id tenant_id

AWS required variables:

data variable name
Access Key ID access_key
Secret Access Key secret_key

Note: The variable name is (currently) static and the template must therefor use this provided name. Luckily this matches the required input for the respective builders.

Example YAML

resources:
- repo: self
steps:
- task: riezebosch.Packer.PackerTool.PackerTool@0
- task: Packer@1
  displayName: 'Packer build'
  inputs:
    connectedServiceType: azure #azure|aws|none
    connectedServiceAzure: 'My Subscription'
    #connectedServiceAWS: 'aws demo'
    templatePath: linux.json
    #force: true|false Force a build to continue if artifacts exist, deletes existing artifacts
    variables: |+
        resource_group=$(resource-group)
        managed_image_name=small-linux
