Hello Packer Community,

 

Packer v1.6.2 has been released. This release comes with a new JSON to HCL2 transpiler to help users migrate existing JSON templates into their HCL2 equivalent. See the packer hcl2_upgrade command for more details.

 

Some release highlights include: 

  • Vault integration for HCL2 enabled templates.

  • Enhanced support for vSphere Content Libraries. 

  • Custom AWS builder variables such as SourceAMI and SourceAMIOwner are now available via the build template function for use by provisioners.

  • Various VMware/vSphere enhancements for customizing, exporting, and importing builder artifacts. 

 

Some notable bugfixes include: 

  • AWS Secrets Manager integration will now read the AWS configuration file for region information as opposed to requiring AWS_REGION or DEFAULT_AWS_REGION be set.

  • vSphere builder will no longer timeout waiting for an IP on guest vms with multiple interfaces.

 

For the full details, see our changelog: https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#162-august-28-2020

 

As always, please reach out or open an issue if you have any problems.


Thanks,


The Packer Team
