HashiCorp Packer VMware Windows Templates and Terraform for VMs | Infrastructure as Code

In this video, we discuss #HashiCorp Packer VMware Windows Templates. We show how you can easily create VM templates in VMware using #Packer. We created a Windows Server 2019 template and saved it in a templates folder in vCenter. We then created a VM from this template using #Terraform. ▬▬▬▬▬▬ T I M E S T A M P S ⏰ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 Introduction 01:42 Packer Windows Explanation 06:56 vCenter View of Template Created 07:29 Build the VM using Terraform 11:56 vCenter View of VMs Created 12:37 Conclusion ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Courses 🎓 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🎓 Terraform Associate 004 Certification Course (63 lessons, 12 labs) ► https://tekanaid.com/course/terraform...
