## Packer Tool

Downloads & installs specified version of packer and adds it to the tool cache.

## Packer

Execute packer commands. By selecting your Azure or AWS service connection, the authorization and values are resolved from that and provided as variables to your packer template.

Azure [required variables](https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/azure.html#required-):

data                    | variable name
------------------------|--------------
service principal id    | client_id
serivice principal key  | client_secret
subscription id         | subscription_id
tenant id               | tenant_id

AWS [required variables](https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/amazon.html#static-credentials):

data                    | variable name
------------------------|--------------
Access Key ID           | access_key
Secret Access Key       | secret_key

Note: The variable name is (currently) static and the template must therefor use this provided name. Luckily this matches the required input for the respective builders.

## Example YAML

```yaml

        managed_image_name=small-linux
        storage_account=$(storage-account)
    #variables-file: JSON file containing user variables.
