Nicholas Chammas commented on SPARK-3821:
-----------------------------------------
I have Packer configured to run {{create_image.sh}}, as well as other scripts I
added (e.g. to install Python 2.7), to generate the AMIs I am using. So testing
Packer-generated AMIs against manually-generated ones (by running
{{create_image.sh}} by hand) should show little difference.
Packer is just tooling to automate the application of existing scripts like
{{create_image.sh}} towards creating AMIs and other image types like GCE images
and Docker images. The goal is to make it easy to generate and update Spark
AMIs (and eventually Docker images too) in an automated fashion.
> Develop an automated way of creating Spark images (AMI, Docker, and others)

>
> Right now the creation of Spark AMIs or Docker containers is done manually.
> With tools like [Packer|http://www.packer.io/], we should be able to automate
> this work, and do so in such a way that multiple types of machine images can
> be created from a single template.
