Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without Packer, manual deployments multiply errors by 5, waste 40% of time on repetitive configs, and cause 20% unplanned downtimes according to Gartner.

  • Imagine weeks lost recreating unstable environments, exploding cloud costs by 30% per poorly optimized VM, frustrated teams dealing with non-reproducible images.

  • Master Packer for minute-long builds, zero drift, infinite scalability: shift from craftsmanship to industrialization, avoid costly rework, boost DevOps ROI from the first month.

Program

Module 1Introduction to Packer: Installation and First Templates (HCL, JSON, Local Builders)

Dive into Packer from the morning by installing the tool on your machine, configure VirtualBox and QEMU providers, write your first simple HCL template for a basic Ubuntu image, test a full build live with guided exercises, analyze logs to fix common errors, and leave with a functional ready-to-use image.

Module 2Advanced Templates: Provisioners and Cloud Builders (AWS AMI, Azure)

Master Shell and Ansible provisioners to customize images, integrate variables and loops in HCL templates, build an AWS AMI using the amazon-ebs builder in real conditions, migrate to Azure with hands-on exercises, generate multi-platform deliverables, and optimize build times for ultra-fast deployments.

Module 3CI/CD Integration: Packer with GitLab, Jenkins (Post-Processors, Secrets)

Integrate Packer into GitLab CI for automated builds, manage secrets with Vault and environment variables, apply post-processors to compress and upload to S3, simulate full pipelines on real business cases, debug complex workflows in teams, and produce production-ready artifacts.

Module 4Optimization and Best Practices: Security, Monitoring (Troubleshooting)

Strengthen security with provisioners for OS hardening, monitor builds via logs and metrics, apply HashiCorp best practices for template modularity, resolve real failure scenarios in workshops, finalize a personal deliverable project, and leave certified with a concrete portfolio to boost your CV.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
