Packer Image Iteration Data Source

Official

HCP Packer Ready

Type: packer-image-iteration

The Packer Image Iteration Data Source retrieves information about an iteration from the HCP Packer registry. This information can be parsed to provide a source image to various Packer builders.

Note: HCP Packer is under active development, and we are currently offering a public beta version to collect feedback and continue improving the product. To get started, visit the HCP Packer documentation or try the Get Started with HCP Packer collection on HashiCorp Learn.

Basic Example

Below is a fully functioning example. It stores information about an image iteration, which can then be parsed and accessed using HCL tools.

data "packer-image-iteration" "hardened-source" {
  bucket = "hardened-ubuntu-16-04"
  channel = "production-stable"
}

Configuration Reference

Configuration options are organized below into two categories: required and optional. Within each category, the available options are alphabetized and described.

Required:

bucket_name (string) - The name of the bucket your image is in.
channel (string) - The name of the channel to use when retrieving your image

There are currently no optional fields for this datasource, though we intend to add filtering fields in the future.
