Packer Cloud neutral Solution

[Nitin Rao]

Is there a way I can make packer builders and provisioners file separately ,so that I can re-use the provisioners file for any builder? Would be great if one can give any solution to make the script cloud-neutral.

Not without some pre-processing on your end. What we do for regression tests is store the json blobs for each provisioner/builder independently and then use a python script to combine them into one json file for each build.

This feature may end up coming when we integrate HCL2 later this year, but I make no promises :)
