You'll need to [install Packer][2], of course.
-OpenDaylight's Packer configuration is divided into build-specific variables,

+OpenDaylight's Packer configuration separates build-specific variables,
+output-specific templates, and a set of shared provisioning scripts. To do a
specific build, combine the template for the desired output artifact type with
-a variable file. To build a new java-builder instance the following would be done:
+a variable file. To build a new java-builder instance run this command:
```
packer build -var-file=vars/cloud-env.json -var-file=vars/centos.json templates/java-builder.json

**NOTE:** vars/cloud-env.json is a gitignored file as it contains private

This would build bootable image in two different OpenStack clouds. In specific,
Rackspace's Public cloud and a private OpenStack cloud.
From a high level, the builds:
-* Boot a specified base image in both clouds.
-* Run a set of shell scripts, listed in the template's shell provisioner
- section, to do any configuration required by the builder.
-* Execute a shutdown of the running instance in the clouds.
-* Execute a 'nova image-create' operation against the shutdown instance.
-* Perform a 'nova delete' operation against the shutdown instance.
