Announcing the Packer Plugin SDKCategory: Software
The Packer team is excited to announce the release of the Packer Plugin SDK, a standalone Go module for developing Packer plugins. Packer has many built-in components, and historically many users of Packer have depended purely on the built-ins to run their builds.
Packer’s main codebase loads and runs these plugins, which can then work together with the Packer built-ins to create highly customizable Packer builds.
Packer plugins can now import the Packer Plugin SDK and use its API, which is explicitly available for Packer plugin functionality.
If you use community-built plugins, you will need to obtain a new version of the plugin when you upgrade to Packer v1.7.0.
