hv-packer - 3.0.0 - It must have been love

Published by marcinbojko about 1 year ago

[BREAKING_CHANGE] complete redesign of building process. Instead od separate scripts now you're presented with generic hv_generic.ps1 script run with proper parameters. This will allow for easier maintenance and less clutter in repository
[BREAKING_CHANGE] complete redesign of extra folder structure. Instead of primary structure based on hypervisor, current structure focuses on OS type, then if needed on hypervisor or cloud model. This will allow for easier maintenance and less clutter in repository
[BREAKING_CHANGE] complete redesign of Windows Update process. Instead of Nuget-based module, now we're presented with packer windows-update plugin. This will allow for easier maintenance and less clutter in repository
[BREAKING_CHANGE] complete redesing of templates. Instead of separate files for each template, now we're presented with generic family template (windows/rhel/ubuntu) This will allow for easier maintenance and less clutter in repository. Since packer doesn't support conditions, we're using empty resources to change its flow.
[BREAKING_CHANGE] dropping support for Vagrant builds. This can be introduced later, but for now, these builds are removed.
[BREAKING_CHANGE] dropping support for extra volumes for Docker. This is related both with removal of Docker from Kubernetes in favor of containerd, which forces different paths for containers.
[BREAKING_CHANGE] dropping customization image tendencies. We'll try to generate images as much generic as possible, without ground changes in them. Non-generic changes like adding Zabbix or Puppet will be removed in next releases, as I do believe this is not the Packer's role.
[BREAKING_CHANGE] dropping support for CentOS 7.x
[BREAKING_CHANGE] dropping support for Windows Server 2016

hv-packer - 2.0.2 - Bad

Published by marcinbojko about 1 year ago

Codename: BAD - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsUXAEzaC3Q

[BREAKING_CHANGE] for packer >= 1.9.0 hyperv-iso module was moved from core to plugins. Proper change was already set in config.pkr.hcl, but you have to remember to run packer init --upgrade config.pkr.hcl before running packer build command

packer {
required_plugins {
  windows-update = {
    version = "0.14.1"
    source = "github.com/rgl/windows-update"
}
  hyperv = {
    version = ">= 1.1.0"
    source  = "github.com/hashicorp/hyperv"
  }
}
}

[Extra] extra scripts and playbooks optimizations

[Extra] ansible-lint fixes over playbooks
[Extra] resized partitions (/boot and /boot/EFI) to fit bigger kernel and initrd files as well as more kernels in Oracle Linux UEK. This will allow for UEK an standard kernels to coexist.
```
part /boot/efi --fstype="vfat" --size=400

part /boot --fstype="ext4" --size=2048

part swap --fstype="swap" --size=8192
