Solaris 11 base box for Vagrant using Packer
3 likes2,349 views
The document discusses tools for creating virtual machine images including Vagrant, Packer, and base boxes. It provides an example Packer file that defines a builder, provisioners, and post-processor to create a Solaris 11 base box image for VirtualBox. The Packer file specifies settings for building the VM image from an ISO, installing Solaris, configuring it for Vagrant, and outputting a box file. The presentation demonstrates using Packer to build the Solaris 11 base box.
