External Packer Plugins

Plugins are installable components of Packer

External Packer plugins are standalone applications that extend Packer functionality without modifying the core source code. Plugins can add new components to Packer, such as builders, provisioners, post-processors, and data sources. Refer to Packer Plugins for details about installing and developing external plugins.

This section contains the documentation for available external Packer plugins.

Tiers and Namespaces

Packer plugins are published and maintained by a variety of sources, including HashiCorp, and the Packer community. We use tiers and badges to denote the source of a plugin. Additionally, namespaces are used to help users identify the organization or publisher responsible for the integration, as shown in the table below.
