packer-builder-hypervisor-setup¶
Install the hypervisor for the packer builder.
Installs the hypervisor used for Packer image builds, selected by the
packer-builder/hypervisor Param.
kvm (libvirt / QEMU) is the primary, best-tested path. virtualbox is also
supported. vsphere builds against a remote ESXi/vCenter that you provide, so
there is no local hypervisor to install; that path is packer-validated but not
exercised end-to-end -- verify it in your own VMware environment.
The builder node must be a Linux system capable of running the selected
hypervisor (for kvm, bare metal or a VM with nested virtualization enabled).
