HCP Packer Learn Lab: Build a Golden Image Pipeline
Learn how to build a basic golden image pipeline with HCP Packer and Terraform in this learn lab.
A golden image is a base image on top of which developers can build applications, letting them focus on the application itself instead of system dependencies and patches. A typical golden image includes common system, logging, and monitoring tools, recent security patches, and application dependencies.
