HCP Packer Learn Lab: Build a Golden Image Pipeline
summary
Creates a golden AMI pipeline using Packer to publish AMIs to AWS and metadata to the HCP Packer registry, then uses Terraform (Terraform Cloud workspace + run tasks) to deploy Loki/Grafana and two HoshiCups app instances; demonstrates fingerprinted iterations, channels, and a scheduled iteration revocation (requires Plus tier) that can cause a run task to fail a plan, shows logs shipping to Loki/Grafana and successful end-to-end builds and deploys with auto-retrieve of AMI IDs.
