Announcing The Packer Book

[James Turnbull]

Hi all

I've just published a new book, a hands-on crash course on Packer. We
cover installing Packer, building images, provisioning, Docker
(https://dockerbook.com), writing infrastructure tests, and building
more complex multi-platform build pipelines. We also delve into
extending Packer with plug-ins and writing your own plug-ins. The table
of contents is:

* Introduction
* Installing Packer
* Building our first image
* Provisioning
* Using Packer with Docker
* Writing tests for Packer images
* Building pipelines
* Extending Packer

The book is available now and there's a sample chapter on the site -
https://packerbook.com/ThePackerBook_sample.pdf to give you a taste.

You can buy online from me at https://packerbook.com/#plans or from
Amazon (https://tinyurl.com/y8pgpg8t), Google Play Books
(https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=t9ksDwAAQBAJ), and Nook.

Regards

James Turnbull
