| # Build Images in CI/CD |
| |
| The following guides from our partners show how to use their services to build |
| images with Packer. |
| |
| - [How to Build Immutable Infrastructure with Packer and CircleCI Workflows](https://circleci.com/blog/how-to-build-immutable-infrastructure-with-packer-and-circleci-workflows/) |
| - [Using Packer and Ansible to Build Immutable Infrastructure in CodeShip](https://blog.codeship.com/packer-ansible/) |
| |
| The majority of the [Packer Builders](/packer/docs/builders) can run just fine in a |
| container, a common model used by most CI/CD services. However, while it is |
| possible to run many builders in containers or nested virtualization, this may |
| require advanced configuration; examples include the [QEMU |
| builder](/packer/plugins/builders/qemu) for |
| [KVM](https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Main_Page) or |
| [Xen](https://www.xenproject.org/), the [VirtualBox |
| builder](/packer/plugins/builders/virtualbox) for OVA or OVF virtual machines, and the |
| [VMware builder](/packer/plugins/builders/vmware) for use with VMware products that are |
| all designed to run on a bare-metal machine or within nested virtualization. |
| |
| The [Building a VirtualBox Image with Packer in |
| TeamCity](/packer/guides/packer-on-cicd/build-virtualbox-image) guide shows |
| how to create a VirtualBox image using TeamCity's support for running scripts |
| on bare-metal machines. |
