Hello,

I’m using Packer to prepare images of Oracle Linux. Then, I use terraform as IaC part.

The packer part is looking good:

(There is a variables.pkr.hcl as well, but not relevant to mention here imo)

There is a build.pkvars.hcl, ansible.pkvars.hcl and azure-oracle-linux.pkvars.hcl, but it’s only variable declaration files.

Once the image is created, I try to deploy a virtual machine to test the image, but terraform is stuck during the creation of the VM.

Update, I was able to retrieve an error message:
