This repository contains an opinionated way to build virtual machine images via packer by using configuration that is pre-defined in YAML format, executed through github actions, with support for automated integration tests using Pester.
- Packer variables provided through configuration files
- Supports Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server
- Integration with Pester with configuration files
- Azure Authentication using OpenID Connect
- Automatically generates software bill of materials for each machine image created
.github/* - Github Action Workflows
bin/WorkerImages - Powershell Module that provides helper functions to start packer with pre-defined variables
config/ - Worker Pool Definition that Packer uses for variables
provisioners/ - Internal directory used for non-cloud worker deployments at Mozilla
scripts/* - OS specific directories that host either shell scripts or a powershell module to support provisioning and configuring windows
tests/win/* - Windows integration tests written for use with Pester
azure.pkr.hcl - Packer HCL template used for building an Azure Managed Image or Azure Managed Image in a Shared Image Gallery
Note
Building an Azure Machine Image with support for Shared Image Gallery requires additional configuration outside of Packer.
- Support non-windows platforms
- Integrate with other Mozilla Release Engineering repositories
- Consolidate github action workflow into reusable workflows
- Create better documentation for local debugging
- Create better workflow for multiple branches
- GHA = Github Actions
- TC = Taskcluster, the CI pipeline to build and release Firefox.
- Worker Image = A machine image for use with Taskcluster.
- Ronin Puppet = Git repository that contains puppet code which configures each worker image with specific configuration
