I just want to note that Packer (http://www.packer.io http://www.packer.io) fits perfectly into the model of immutable infrastructure. Packer is an open source tool for automatically creating machine images (perhaps for multiple platforms).
The idea of quickly and easily creating these master images in a way that doesn't slow down agility to change infrastructure is crucial, and Packer enables that.
Disclaimer: I wrote Packer.
- edwintorok 13y agoHow does it compare to DisNix? http://nixos.org/disnix/ http://nixos.org/disnix/
- mitchellh 13y agoAs far as I know, disnix is just for Nix. Packer creates machine images for multiple platforms. It would make sense, if you were building a machine image for Nix, perhaps, that you would use this. But for an Ubuntu machine, you can't really. Unless I'm mistaken.
