HCP Packer Is Now Generally Available

HashiCorp has announced the general availability of its HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) Packer service, which automates image management across multiple clouds and provides a standardized way to secure images within an organization. The release includes new features such as security workflows and custom metadata tracking for images. HCP Packer integrates with Terraform Cloud Business tier users, allowing them to integrate HCP Packer image compliance checks into their Terraform Cloud workflows. The service also enables codification of golden images across downstream images, providing visibility into how they are used and automating updates using a single packer build.
