# HCP Packer Registry Data sources
|
|
|
|
The HCP Packer registry bridges the gap between image factories and image
|
|
deployments, allowing development and security teams to work together to create,
|
|
manage, and consume images in a centralized way.
|
|
|
|
The HCP Packer registry stores metadata about your images, including when they
|
|
were created, where the image exists in the cloud, and what (if any) git commit
|
|
is associated with your image build. You can use the registry to track
|
|
information about the golden images your Packer builds produce, clearly
|
|
designate which images are appropriate for test and production environments,
|
|
and query for the right golden images to use in both Packer and Terraform
|
|
configurations.
|
|
|
|
Packer has two data sources that work together to retrieve information from the
|
|
HCP Packer registry:
|
|
|
|
- [hcp-packer-iteration](/packer/docs/datasources/hcp/hcp-packer-iteration) -
|
|
retrieves information about an iteration in HCP Packer registry
|
|
- [hcp-packer-image](/packer/docs/datasources/hcp/hcp-packer-image) - retrieves
|
|
information about a specific image created in the HCP Packer registry
|
|
|
|
These data sources are intended to be used together to determine source images
|
|
for pipelined Packer builds.
|
|
|
|
## How to use this plugin
|
|
|
|
This plugin comes bundled with the Packer core, so you do not need to install
|
|
it separately. Please install Packer v1.7.7 or above to use the latest version
|
|
of the HCP Packer registry datasources.
