netbox-packer

NetBox plugin for HashiCorp Packer — links image builds, template versions, and artifact metadata to NetBox virtual machine records.

netbox-packer connects HashiCorp Packer build pipelines to NetBox, creating a traceable link between golden image templates and the virtual machines that run them.

Packer templates, build runs, artifact versions, and platform metadata are stored in NetBox and associated with the VM records managed by netbox-proxbox.
