+ Packer is an open source tool for creating identical machine images for
+ multiple platforms from a single source configuration. Packer is lightweight,
+ runs on every major operating system, and is highly performant, creating
+ machine images for multiple platforms in parallel. Packer does not replace
+ configuration management like Chef or Puppet. In fact, when building images,
+ Packer is able to use tools like Chef or Puppet to install software onto the
+ image.
+
+ A machine image is a single static unit that contains a pre-configured
+ operating system and installed software which is used to quickly create new
+ running machines. Machine image formats change for each platform. Some
+ examples include AMIs for EC2, VMDK/VMX files for VMware, OVF exports for
+ VirtualBox, etc.
