| Packer has a vibrant community of contributors who have built a number of great |
| tools on top of Packer. There are also quite a few projects demonstrating the |
| power of Packer templates. |
| |
| ## Third-Party plugins |
| |
| The plugins listed below have been built by the community of Packer users and |
| vendors. These plugins are not officially tested nor officially maintained by |
| HashiCorp, and are listed here in order to help users find them easily. |
| |
| To learn more about how to use community plugins, or how to build your own, |
| check out the docs on [extending Packer](https://developer.hashicorp.com/packer/docs/plugins/install-plugins) |
| |
| If you have built a plugin and would like to add it to this community list, |
| please make a pull request so that we can document your |
| contribution here! |
