# Packer Documentation
|
|
|
|
[Packer](https://www.packer.io/) is a community tool that enables you to create identical machine images for multiple platforms from a single source template. A common use case is creating "golden images" that teams across an organization can use in cloud infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
To install Packer and learn the standard Packer workflow, try the [Get Started tutorials](/packer/tutorials).
|
|
|
|
## HCP Packer
|
|
|
|
The HCP Packer registry stores metadata about your artifacts. You can use the registry to track information about
|
|
artifacts from your Packer builds, clearly designate which artifacts are appropriate for test and production
|
|
environments, and query for the right artifacts to use in both Packer and Terraform configurations.
|
|
|
|
To get started, visit the [HCP Packer documentation](/hcp/docs/packer) or try the [Get Started with HCP Packer tutorials](/packer/tutorials/hcp-get-started).
