This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository.
In HCL2, it is possible to split the different components of a build over several files, and to build them by invoking `packer build' on the directory containing those partial templates. This was not documented, nor was there any example in Packer to highlight such a workflow, so we add those with this commit.

page_title: HCL2 Project Bundles | ||
description: |- | ||
Packer templates written in HCL2 may be defined under a single file, or | ||
as a series of template partials stored in a single directory. | ||
This document aims to explain how Packer works in such cases, and how | ||
users may define their templates as a series of partials rather than a | ||
single HCL2 template. | ||
--- | ||
|
||
# HCL2 Project Bundles | ||
|
||
`@include 'from-1.5/beta-hcl2-note.mdx'` | ||
|
||
Packer users coming from the Legacy JSON templates may be used to define a series of | ||
builds from a single template. | ||
While HCL2 also supports workflows like these, due to the way Packer parses templates | ||
in HCL2 mode, it also supports splitting the template in multiple files, and | ||
using them to trigger concurrent builds. | ||
|
||
## Project Bundle | ||
|
||
A project bundle is a directory containing multiple `.pkr.hcl` or `.pkrvars.hcl` files | ||
which can be loaded by Packer for building a bundle of images from these partially | ||
defined templates. | ||
|
||
-> **Note:** You cannot mix-in HCL2 and JSON templates, loading templates from a directory is | ||
only supported on HCL2 templates. | ||
|
||
Any supported HCL2 template component may be defined in partial templates. | ||
For example, you may want to define the variables you are going to use in a file, | ||
and use them directly from the other partial templates defined in the directory you | ||
want to build. | ||
|
||
To make reasoning about separate builds easier, you may also split your templates into | ||
multiple files, one per family of builds. | ||
|
||
For example, assume we are building multiple images for a specific environment, | ||
and we want to segregate those builds by OS familiy. | ||
|
||
You could partition the bundle like so: | ||
|
||
```shell | ||
. | ||
└── app | ||
├── common_vars.pkr.hcl | ||
├── defaults.auto.pkrvars.hcl | ||

In this example hierarchy, each file describes the following: | ||
|
||
* `windows_build.pkr.hcl`: the build blocks and sources related to Windows, having a separate build block and provisioners/post-processors may make sense since Windows behaves very differently from *NIX OSes | ||
* `linux_build.pkr.hcl`: the build blocks and sources related to Linux | ||
* `variables.pkr.hcl`: the variables required to build the images. For example if you are building images on AWS, you can specify variables used in both templates here, along with their default values if relevant. | ||
* `defaults.pkrvars.hcl`: the default values for the variables defined in `variables.pkr.hcl`. | ||
* `scripts/enable_winrm.ps`: a simple script to enable winrm and create an Administrator user and password for winrm authentication. | ||
|
||
Building the whole bundle at once is done by invoking `packer build` on the whole directory: `packer build app`. | ||
|
||
If you want to build the windows or linux builds separately, you can do so by using the `--only` or `--except` flags: `packer build --only linux app`: | ||
