Create new output vars

Open jsloan117 opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Description

Add/create output variables that contain the name of the resources packer spun up. If packer spun up a VM/NIC/HDD then it'd look something like the below still following the "Randomized" logic already in place.

e.g.

build.vm_name=pkrvm*
build.nic_name=pkrni*
build.osdisk_name=pkros*
etc
etc

Use Case(s)

The use case I've had in mind is if packer fails or the pipeline run is canceled it leaves behind resources it provisioned.

If I knew or could know the name of the resources it spun up I could write a simple shell script to be executed on packer failure to ensure the resources it spun up are indeed gone.
