  • Packer

    Packer is a tool for creating identical machine images for multiple platforms from a single source configuration.

    • Over the past month I created a guide demonstrating how to build custom Windows 11 "golden" images for Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) using Packer and automate it using GitHub Actions (GHA).

  • Chocolatey

    Chocolatey - the package manager for Windows

    • The Packer build uses Chocolatey and a custom PowerShell script to provision software.
