+## Packer VM image builder
+
+This folder hosts the plain boot and automatic installation scripts
+using packer, the final outcome is the qemu artifact ready to be used
+as a VM for swdt with SSH enabled.
+
+Pre-requisites:
+
+* Hashicorp Packer >=1.10.2
+
+2 ISOs are required, save them on isos folder:
+
+* **window.iso** - [Windows 2022 Server](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-2022) 
+* **virtio-win.iso** - [Windows Virtio Drivers](https://github.com/virtio-win/virtio-win-pkg-scripts/blob/master/README.md)
+
+### Running 
+
+```shell
+make start
+```
+
+Behind the scenes it will call Packer in the kvm build
+
+```shell
+packer init kvm
+PACKER_LOG=1 packer build kvm
+```
+
+### Export
+
+The folder `output` will contain the `win2k22` QEMU QCOW Image.
