Why Packer?

Rapid Infrastructure Deployment

Use Terraform to launch completely provisioned and configured machine instances with Packer images in seconds.

Multi-provider Portability

Identical images allow you to run dev, staging, and production environments across platforms.

Improved Stability

By provisioning instances from stable images installed and configured by Packer, you can ensure buggy software does not get deployed.
Increased Dev / Production Parity

Keep dev, staging, and production environments as similar as possible by generating images for multiple platforms at the same time.
Reliable Continuous Delivery

Generate new machine images for multiple platforms, launch and test, and verify the infrastructure changes work; then, use Terraform to put your images in production.

Appliance Demo Creation

Create software appliances and disposable product demos quickly, even with software that changes continuously.

Note: please let me know if any thing not working in my course so that I will updated accordingly, your feedback is really appreciated. AWS console page got some changes but you can search all services from search box.
