This course takes you through all aspects of Packer, from initial configuration of your chosen cloud. To building and deploying a Windows Server to either AWS, Azure or both. There are lessons on configuration and deployment using Terraform and using the management console.

NOTE: This course uses HCL1 syntax which has now been deprecated in the latest releases of packer. Iam not going to update this, but I still think there's value in the content as you'll see how to use it. Google 'Packer HCL' for more information.

The course has been developed to be multi cloud or builder to be more accurate. As packer can work with multiple builders, the course can be followed using AWS, Azure or Both.

The course is a complete walk through of creating a template and developing this into a fully configured build. It covers using a number of provisioners such as PowerShell, Chef and Puppet to configure your server.

This course has been developed to be as practical as possible, most of the lessons are follow along in nature. Overviews of key areas of Packer are provided for reference.

Please be aware this course only covers Windows Server builds. This only covers HCL version 1
