HashiCorp has announced the general availability of webhooks for HCP Packer, a tool that automates notifications to external systems about image-related events across any cloud and on-premises environment. Webhooks streamline and secure image lifecycle workflows by eliminating manual orchestration of external workflows, reducing complexity and security risks caused by human errors. Users can now set up automated actions for specific image lifecycle events such as publishing a new image version, deleting an image or template in the cloud provider, and sending notifications to stakeholders.
