packer-provisioner-azurerm-vm-extension is a provisioner plugin for Packer that let you add/remove Azure VM Extension during the provisioning phase.

Tested with Packer <=1.3. The plugin may need to be adapted for Packer >=1.4 because of the addition of HCL2.

• Reuse existing provisioning stack (like DSC script)
• Resolves packer#6548 and packer#8626

An example is provided for provisioning a Windows VM with the DSC Extension.

However, any Azure VM Extension should work.

# build binary
$ go build -v .

# move plugin to specific directory

$ mv packer-provisioner-azurerm-vm-extension $HOME/.packer.d/plugins

# run packer
$ cd example/
$ packer build -var 'foo=bar' [...] ./packer_example.json
