+# Packer Image Builder for CentOS
+
+## Introduction
+
+This packer templates create vmware image of CentOS 7 with `.vmx` file type.
+
+The OS versions are:
+
+ - Centos 7
+
+For all operating systems we generate images for
+
+ - VmWare (user: packer/changeme1234)
+
+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](http://www.packer.io/downloads.html) 0.10.1 and later.
+
+## Run conversion process
