Packer

This build step invokes packer commands in Google Cloud Build.

Arguments passed to this builder will be passed to packer directly, allowing callers to run any Packer command.

gcloud builds submit .

Advanced builder building: To specify a particular version of packer, provide the packer version number, and the checksum of that version's zip archive, as Cloud Build substitutions:

gcloud builds submit --substitutions=_PACKER_VERSION=1.3.5,_PACKER_VERSION_SHA256SUM=14922d2bca532ad6ee8e936d5ad0788eba96f773bcdcde8c2dc7c95f830841e .
