Build OCI images with packer
Workshop builds a Docker Developer's client image through a series of steps to show how packer can automate installation and configuration tasks.
Welcome to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure building OCI images with Packer workshop. This workshop will walk you through the process of creating an custom infrastructure image, similar to a VM, to support a varity of DevOps and production use-cases. Packer allows this image to be built - as code... a small JSON file. This increases effiency as the same image can be built on different cloud provides (AWS, Oracle, GCP), or Virtualbox or VMWare in on-premise environments.
As part of this workshop, you will complete labs helping you to better understand:
- Configuring OCI Infrastructure to support an Image
- Launching an OCI Instance and installing software (packer and git)
- Using Packer to build a custom OCI image which is configured to support a desktop login via VNC, firewall configuration, identification labels and a custom environment (Docker and VNC services))
