     9  # About Packer and Artifacts
    10  
    11  Packer creates and uploads artifacts to Terraform Enterprise. This is done
    12  with the [post-processor](https://packer.io/docs/post-processors/atlas.html).
    13  
    14  Artifacts can then be used to deploy services or access via Vagrant. Artifacts
    15  are generic, but can be of varying types. These types define different behavior
    16  within Terraform Enterprise.
    17  
    18  For uploading artifacts `artifact_type` can be set to any unique identifier,
    19  however, the following are recommended for consistency.
    20  
    21  - `amazon.image`
    22  - `azure.image`
    23  - `digitalocean.image`
    24  - `docker.image`
    25  - `google.image`
    26  - `openstack.image`
    27  - `parallels.image`
    28  - `qemu.image`
    29  - `virtualbox.image`
    30  - `vmware.image`
    31  - `custom.image`
    32  - `application.archive`
    33  - `vagrant.box`
    34  
    35  Packer can create artifacts when running in Terraform Enterprise or locally.
    36  This is possible due to the post-processors use of the public artifact API to
    37  store the artifacts.
    38  
    39  You can read more about artifacts and their use in the
    40  [Terraform section](/docs/enterprise/) of the documentation.
