Hi Everyone,
I wanted to know if it's possible to have one file that can build in VMWare
Workstation and AWS at the same time. I know a packer file can contain multiple
builders, however there are slightly different ways to access the resources
once they're up in each builder.
For example when accessing an AWS instance you call the {{ .WinRMPassword }}
variable to gain access, where as in Workstation I can provide the username and
password. My thoughts are to change the AWS password via UserData when the
instance is called to solve for this.
However on my work station build I need to install VMWare-Tools, whereas this
isn't required in AWS. I suppose I could have the script check for the
environment type to make the decision if VMWare tools should be installed.
I'm new to packer so I'd love to hear some feedback from the community on how
to best approach this.
Thanks,
