## 4) Using Packer to create a disk image
-This section discusses an automated way of creating gem5-compatible disk images with Ubuntu server installed. We make use of packer to do this which makes use of .json template files to build and configure a disk image. These template files can be configured to build a disk image with specific benchmarks installed.
