We use Terraform quite a bit and it has some nice tooling like Terratest where you can essentially call Terraform from within Golang wrapped inside an API with proper error handling.

I wonder if something similar exist for Packer?

To clarify what I what to do with it: This code will be part of a CI/CD workflow, and we would love to automatically build an AWS AMI. But there is some logic involved so ideally we'd love to be able to control packer from golang.

  • Not something that I have come across. Packer does have a good templating language so we've not really seen the need to wrap it. We just pass the parameters we need to the template to build our AWS AMIs

  • Packer is just another command you would run. Is there anything special about that would cause Golang problems?
