Our Verdict
Exuding expertise, Bryan Krausen & Gabe Maentz' Building Automated Machine Images with HashiCorp Packer course boasts a rich balance of theory and hands-on experience. While at times repetitive and lacking depth in certain areas like Post Processors, it covers the fundamentals exceptionally well while providing a rare look into using Packer with on-prem VMware infrastructure. A perfect launchpad for HashiCorp tooling enthusiasts.
