…How to Simulate a Packer AMI Build in Python
A simple Python class that mimics a Packer AMI build lifecycle — creates a build object, transitions its state to completed, and prints a JSON snapshot.
import json
class PackerBuildMock:
def __init__(self, name, ami_id, region="us-east-1", state="pending"):
self.name = name
self.ami_id = ami_id
self.region = region
self.state = state
def build(self):
if self.state == "pending":
self.state = "completed"
