Packer Project Setup - Quick Query

[Aaron Gibson]

Hello Packer Friends,

Discovered packer not long ago, started utilizing it in my tooling to produce an AMI inside of AWS for auto scaling. The use case that I currently have included some provisioning scripts that I keep in a provision dir, as well as some supporting application files that I keep in a files dir. I am not so worried about the provision dir, no secrets in this dir, however my files dir holds numerous application configs with numerous secrets. I am looking for the packer way of protecting these files in source, then un-encrypt once checked out to actually run my packer build commands to build my images from my laptop.

Looking for the sage wisdom I know this group can provide, it's much appreciated.

-Aaron.

Use the same tools you use elsewhere to store secrets in  a safe way. AWS Parameter Store, Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, ansible-vault, or something similar. All of those are good depending on your needs.
