Goal

Show OpenShift Virtualization users how they can create VM images using Packer (via builder "kubevirt-iso")

User Stories

• As a long-time user of packer.io, and a recent CNV cluster-admin, I want to create disk images just like I'm used to, using Packer.
• User should not need to know what qcow or container or container registry are.

Non-Requirements

• List of things not included in this epic, to alleviate any doubt raised during the grooming process.

Notes

• I haven't tried https://github.com/tnosse/packer-plugin-kubevirt  which may do part of the work
• The other integrations are listed in https://developer.hashicorp.com/packer/integrations
• Stages of integration:
  • run packer local, create a container disk, and use the containerdisk in cnv
  • run packer/qemu in openshift, create a golden image, like in https://github.com/vagnerfarias/kubevirt-vm-build/blob/main/tekton/Tasks/packer-build-cm.yaml#L29
  • run packer local, create a kubevirt vm , create a golden image
• The new packer-plugin-kubevirt can be added to https://github.com/hashicorp organization
