packer-builder/hypervisor
Select the image build to run.
Defines the supported hypervisor to deploy for the Packer images to be built by.
The default value is kvm.
The currently tested and automated hyperviser deployment is KVM on either CentOS or Ubuntu platforms. Other close linux distro variantes may also work, but have not been tested.
The Packer JSON builds support KVM (libvirt), VirtualBox, and vSphere. Building images can be done utilizing this content pack for other hypervisor versions if the operator sets up the hypervisor by hand first.
The list of Packer JSON supported hypervisor build environments is below. Note
that this list has not been extensively tested, and debugging of various
hypervisor configuraions may be required if you use anything except kvm type.
