Introduction

This packer templates create vmware image of CentOS 7 with .vmx and .ova. In addition, there is an AMI you can create for AWS. You will need to have credentials setup according to AWS credentials setup

The OS versions are:

  • Centos 7

For all operating systems we generate images for

  • centos7.json will build:

    • VmWare (user: packer/changeme1234)
    • VirtualBox (user: packer/changeme1234)

  • aws-centos7-base.json will build:

    • AMI for AWS (user: centos/centos)

This template only is tested against 64 bit systems. With the following sizing requirements:

  "vmx_data": {
    "cpuid.coresPerSocket": "1",
    "memsize": "512",
    "numvcpus": "2"
  }

  "disk_size": 81920

Requirements

The templates are only tested with packer 0.10.1 and later.
