JSON Templates

From Packer version 1.7.0, template HCL2 becomes officially the preferred way to write Packer configuration. While the json format is still supported, but certain new features, such as packer init works only in newer HCL2 format. If you are using json config templates, please consider upgrading them using the packer built-in command:

$ packer hcl2_upgrade example.json
