PACKER KILLS EXTERNAL SBOM SCANNERS, EMBEDS SYFT NATIVELY

By RepoJournal · Filed · About HashiCorp

Packer's hcp-sbom provisioner just ditched the external binary dependency game and baked Syft directly into the build engine.

The docs are now live for what's been shipping under the hood: `scanner_url` and `scanner_checksum` are deprecated [1], replaced by Packer's embedded Syft SDK handling SBOM generation without external downloads. This matters because your provisioner configs need updating before those fields vanish, and the migration path is straightforward [1]. On the infrastructure side, Consul's Dockerfile got a layer consolidation pass [2], a small move but the kind of housekeeping that keeps your image builds lean and reproducible. Nothing critical across either desk, but the Packer change is the one to track if you're shipping SBOMs in production.
