packer-azure Build Status Code Coverage

Packer is an open source tool for creating identical machine images for multiple platforms from a single source configuration. This is an Azure plugin for Packer.io to enable Microsoft Azure users to build custom images given an Azure image.

You must have an Azure subscription to begin using Azure. You can build both Linux and Windows Azure images (targets) from both Windows and Linux dev-boxes (clients) with these plugins.

Packer version the plug-ins were tested is 0.7.5

Usage

packer-azure utilizes Service Management REST API and Storage Services REST API and consists of two plug-ins: packer-builder-azure and packer-provisioner-azure-custom-script-extension (for Windows targets). For Linux targets use well known "shell" provisioner; More information about the custom script provisioner can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn781373.aspx To start using the plugin you will need to get PublishSetting profile for your azure subscriptions. Visit https://manage.windowsazure.com/publishsettings to download the publish profile for the currently logged in user.

You can download binaries from the releases for this project and drop them in your packer install directory or you can build the plugins from source (see below). Configuration examples can be found in the config_examples directory.
