Assistance in Puppet/Packer/VirtualBox

[M. Denton]

Hey there,

New user, I have been unsuccessful in finding proper documentation for my use case. My infrastructure is configured via Puppet and my devs use Vagrant/VirtualBox for development. Right now, when they need to build a fresh vagrant, it takes upwards of 10 min for everything to be set up and configured properly. I started down the path of making a base box in vagrant and storing in S3 to speed things up.

I am wanting to create the base box/image using Packer based off of my puppet manifest. This would make the process so much easier as I would throw this into a cron on my PuppetMaster and have a versioned/updated image for my devs to use.

Is this not possible?

It should be pretty straight forward. Start with something that works, say a bento box 1). When you got a hang of that just add your customisations with puppet-server provisioner 2).

If you have any problems on the way just send a question here.
