This repository provides infrastructure-as-code examples to automate the creation of virtual machine images on Hetzner Cloud using [HashiCorp Packer](https://www.packer.io) and the [Packer Plugin for Hetzner Cloud](https://developer.hashicorp.com/packer/integrations/hetznercloud/hcloud). All examples are written in the HashiCorp Configuration Language `HCL2`.
