Packer Templates¶
Packer is a tool for simplifying and automating Amazon Machine Image (AMI) creation with code. It enables developers to create identical images for multiple platforms. The Packer templates provided in the Cloud Game Development Toolkit can be used to provision EC2 instances with common development tools preinstalled.
