Challenge: Inspect a Packer template

(upbeat music) - [Instructor] I now have a challenge for you, and in this challenge, I'm going to ask you to use the Packer CLI to inspect and validate some Packer templates. In the downloadable exercise files for this course, I have included six Packer templates. Three of them I would like you to inspect, find out what builders are used, what provisioners are used, and if any variables are expected. Note that these templates won't build on your machine without some extra setup, but we can learn about them, and more of the capabilities that Packer has. The other three templates are broken. I'd like you to use the Validate command and fix them. In the next video, I'll go through and explain how I've done this.
