+## Packer Templates for Creating EC2 AMI
+
+### Structure
+
+* **config:** This folder contains all the configuration files.
+* **scripts:** This folder contains all the running scripts during the image creation.
+* **.json:** All templates are now in JSON format, we have not converted them into HCL2 yet.
+
+### Templates
+* jenkins-agent-win2016-x64.json: Windows 2016 Server.
+* jenkins-agent-win2019-x64.json: Windows 2019 Server (Recommended).
+* jenkins-agent-win2019-x64-alpine-wsl.json: Windows 2019 Server with WSL enabled running Alpine 3.
+
+### Usages
+
+* You need to install `packer` on your host as a pre-requisite.
+```
+# Needs to be run in this directory
+$ cd packer/
+
+# Run build AMI:
+$ packer build <template json name>
+
+# Run build AMI with debug mode:
+$ packer build -debug <template json name>
+```
+
+### Notes
+
+* Run packer outside of VPN as port 5985/5986, 22, 445 might be blocked for winrm/ssh/smb during the provision, corresponding security group must have the same rules.
+* Make sure the variable section in the template file is filled up, as well as the configs in config folder.
+* Must use a public subnet for packer to connect to the hosts.
+* You can choose to use fixed AMI ID instead of using the AMI filter to find the IDs.
+* EC2Launch vs EC2Launchv2 have a lot of differences, all the templates here are using EC2Launch on Windows AMI.
+* If the process get interrupted in the middle of the run, you need to log onto AWS console to cleanup everything starts with `packer` prefix.
+
+### Thanks
+
+* The Windows templates here are based on the original work by [Ross Derewianko](https://github.com/rderewianko). Thanks for his contribution and post to make it work.
