Complete Image Build Automation with Packer – Linux & Windows on AWS, Azure, and GCP
In this video, we introduce how Packer can be used to automate the creation of Linux and Windows images across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud*
We’ll walk through the core concepts behind Packer, explain how provisioning differs between Linux and Windows builds, and highlight the unique considerations for each cloud provider — including how WinRM configuration is handled differently across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
We'll learn how to:
Build custom Linux images with SSH provisioning
Build custom Windows images with WinRM provisioning
Automate system updates, software installation, and Sysprep generalization
Configure secure access to deployed instances
Store credentials safely using each cloud’s vault or secrets service
Watch the full series to see the AWS, Azure, and GCP solutions built step-by-step.
