This document outlines a presentation about using Packer to automate the creation of machine images. The agenda includes an introduction to Packer, when it should be used, a technical dive into how it works, and a demo. Packer is described as being declarative, transparent, open source, reusable by customizing variables, and supporting multiple clouds. The technical dive explains the process of creating a template, saving it locally, granting access to a cloud provider, launching a new machine to install packages on, shutting it down to create an image, and registering that image to the cloud.
