Packer is just one piece -of the ecosystem HashiCorp has built to make application delivery a versioned, -auditable, repeatable, and collaborative process. To learn more about our -beliefs on the qualities of the modern datacenter and responsible application -delivery, read [The Atlas Mindset: Version Control for -Infrastructure](https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/atlas-mindset.html?utm_source=packer&utm_campaign=HashicorpEcosystem). - -If you are using Packer to build machine images and deployable artifacts, it's -likely that you need a solution for deploying those artifacts. Terraform is our -tool for creating, combining, and modifying infrastructure. - -Below are summaries of HashiCorp's open source projects and a graphic showing -how Atlas connects them to create a full application delivery workflow. - -# HashiCorp Ecosystem - -![Atlas Workflow](docs/atlas-workflow.png) - -[Atlas](https://atlas.hashicorp.com/?utm_source=packer&utm_campaign=HashicorpEcosystem) -is HashiCorp's only commercial product. It unites Packer, Terraform, and Consul -to make application delivery a versioned, auditable, repeatable, and -collaborative process. - -[Packer](https://www.packer.io/?utm_source=packer&utm_campaign=HashicorpEcosystem) -is a HashiCorp tool for creating machine images and deployable artifacts such as -AMIs, OpenStack images, Docker containers, etc. - -[Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/?utm_source=packer&utm_campaign=HashicorpEcosystem) -is a HashiCorp tool for creating, combining, and modifying infrastructure. In -the Atlas workflow Terraform reads from the artifact registry and provisions -infrastructure. - -[Consul](https://www.consul.io/?utm_source=packer&utm_campaign=HashicorpEcosystem) -is a HashiCorp tool for service discovery, service registry, and health checks. -In the Atlas workflow Consul is configured at the Packer build stage and -identifies the service(s) contained in each artifact. Since Consul is configured -at the build phase with Packer, when the artifact is deployed with Terraform, it -is fully configured with dependencies and service discovery pre-baked. This -greatly reduces the risk of an unhealthy node in production due to configuration -failure at runtime. - -[Serf](https://www.serf.io/?utm_source=packer&utm_campaign=HashicorpEcosystem) is -a HashiCorp tool for cluster membership and failure detection. Consul uses -Serf's gossip protocol as the foundation for service discovery. - -[Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/?utm_source=packer&utm_campaign=HashicorpEcosystem) -is a HashiCorp tool for managing development environments that mirror -production. Vagrant environments reduce the friction of developing a project and -reduce the risk of unexpected behavior appearing after deployment. Vagrant boxes -can be built in parallel with production artifacts with Packer to maintain -parity between development and production. - -[Nomad](https://www.nomadproject.io/?utm_source=packer&utm_campaign=HashicorpEcosystem) -is a HashiCorp tool for managing a cluster of machines and running applications -on them. Nomad abstracts away machines and the location of applications, and -instead enables users to declare what they want to run and Nomad handles where -they should run and how to run them. diff --git a/website/source/layouts/intro.erb b/website/source/layouts/intro.erb index 1963d3f01..fbd1c9e6d 100644 --- a/website/source/layouts/intro.erb +++ b/website/source/layouts/intro.erb @@ -7,9 +7,6 @@ > Use Cases - > - Packer & HashiCorp - > Getting Started
