VM Instance
Packer from HashiCorp works across cloud providers to accelerate construction of identical machine images from a single template. It is an open source, infrastructure as code (IaC) software tool that implements continuous integration. DevOps teams efficiently build, change, and version infrastructure configurations.
Packer works with other Hashicorp products including Terraform, Vagrant, and Consul to provide a complete solution for infrastructure management and networking. Packer is highly extensible with plugins for Docker, VMware, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and more.
Azure App Hosting Service hosts web app, REST application programming interface (API), and mobile back end environments while managing app infrastructure.
Packer increases productivity by automating provisioning. It automatically installs and configures software within virtual machines before image creation. The base image quickly adjusts and integrates configuration management tools. Packer runs as many provisioners as you need with shell scripting support.
Parameterizing the build with input variables enables robust image build customization without affecting the Packer template. Packer creates multiple, identical images in parallel from a single template; an Amazon Machine Image can be created from the same script as a VMWare virtual machine and deployed for different purposes.
Packer tracks builds across all clouds and hypervisors to update golden images as efficiently as possible. Metadata and data artifacts for each related image iteration are stored and accessible via API.
Packer enforces machine image compliance with network security processes. End of life dates are set up for specific images and insecure iterations are immediately revoked if vulnerable.
Azure App Service quickly creates and deploys scalable mission critical applications so you can grow your enterprise with peace of mind. It is a Managed Service Provider (MSP) for web, mobile, and integration environments. Choose to scale up or out with the Umbraco Accelerator. It is updated from .NET Framework to .NET Core and runs 100% on ASP.NET Core. Configured to restart and ready to launch out of the box.
Ntegral certified images are always up-to-date, secure, and built to work right out of the box.
Ntegral packages applications following industry standards, and continuously monitors all components and libraries for vulnerabilities and application updates. When any security threat or update is identified, Ntegral automatically repackages the applications and pushes the latest versions to the cloud marketplaces.
