Let’s build a WordPress & Kernel updated AMI with Packer | Object Partners

▤ Summary

AMIs provide the information required to launch an Amazon EC2 instance, which is a virtual server in the AWS Cloud. • Packer is simple in terms of logging and debugging as the output is clearly shown in the command-line when the image is built. • Packer uses JSON files to build the components which are simple commands and can be easily integrated with CI/CD pipelines. First, you need to have an EC2 instance running on AWS with admin IAM role attached for testing purposes. Inside our WordPress folder let’s run some packer commands to start building our AMI.
