     1  -> **Note:** This page is about HCL2 Packer templates. HCL2 templates
     2  were first introduced as a beta feature into Packer version 1.5. As of v1.7,
     3  HCL2 support is no longer in beta, and is the preferred way to write Packer
     4  configuration. For the old-style stable configuration language see
     5  [template docs](/packer/docs/templates/legacy_json_templates). As of v1.6.2, you can
     6  convert your legacy JSON template into an HCL2 config file using the
     7  [hcl2_upgrade command](/packer/docs/commands/hcl2_upgrade).
