# How Packer Builds Run in Terraform Enterprise
|
|
|
|
This briefly covers the internal process of running builds in Terraform
|
|
Enterprise. It's not necessary to know this information, but may be valuable to
|
|
help understand implications of running or debugging failing builds.
|
|
|
|
### Steps of Execution
|
|
|
|
1. A Packer template and directory of files is uploaded via Packer Push or
|
|
GitHub
|
|
|
|
2. Terraform Enterprise creates a version of the build configuration and waits
|
|
for the upload to complete. At this point, the version will be visible in the UI
|
|
even if the upload has not completed
|
|
|
|
3. Once the upload finishes, the build is queued. This is potentially split
|
|
across multiple machines for faster processing
|
|
|
|
4. In the build environment, the package including the files and Packer template
|
|
are downloaded
|
|
|
|
5. `packer build` is run against the template in the build environment
|
|
|
|
6. Logs are streamed into the UI and stored
|
|
|
|
7. Any artifacts as part of the build are then uploaded via the public artifact
|
|
API, as they would be if Packer was executed locally
|
|
|
|
8. The build completes, the environment is teared down and status updated
