Assigned Service Account must have write permissions to the Yandex Object Storage. A new temporary static access keys from assigned Service Account used to upload file.

Configuration

Required:

Access

• token (string) - OAuth token or IAM token to use to authenticate to Yandex.Cloud. Alternatively you may set value by environment variable YC_TOKEN.

Common

• folder_id (string) - The folder ID that will be used to launch instances and store images. Alternatively you may set value by environment variable YC_FOLDER_ID. To use a different folder for looking up the source image or saving the target image to check options 'source_image_folder_id' and 'target_image_folder_id'.

• service_account_id (string) - Service Account ID with proper permission to modify an instance, create and attach disk and make upload to specific Yandex Object Storage paths.

• max_retries (int) - The maximum number of times an API request is being executed.

Import

• bucket (string) - The name of the bucket where the qcow2 file will be uploaded to for import. This bucket must exist when the post-processor is run.

  If import occurred after Yandex-Export post-processor, artifact already in storage service and first paths (URL) is used to, so no need to set this param.

• object_name (string) - The name of the object key in bucket where the qcow2 file will be copied to import. This is a template engine. Therefore, you may use user variables and template functions in this field.

• skip_clean (bool) - Whether skip removing the qcow2 file uploaded to Storage after the import process has completed. Possible values are: true to leave it in the bucket, false to remove it. Default is false.

Image

• image_name (string) - The name of the resulting image, which contains 1-63 characters and only supports lowercase English characters, numbers and hyphen. Defaults to packer-{{timestamp}}.

• image_description (string) - The description of the image.

• image_family (string) - The family name of the image.

• image_labels (map[string]string) - Key/value pair labels to apply to the image.

• image_min_disk_size_gb (int) - Minimum size of the disk that will be created from built image, specified in gigabytes. Should be more or equal to disk_size_gb.

• image_product_ids ([]string) - License IDs that indicate which licenses are attached to resulting image.

• image_pooled (bool) - When true, an image pool will be created for fast creation disks from the image.

• skip_create_image (bool) - Skip creating the image. Useful for setting to true during a build test stage. Defaults to false.
