Request for Guidance on macOS Image Automation via CI/CD

[robatjamf]

I’m currently exploring the best approach to automate the creation of a macOS image based on a Packer file using CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions or AWS. If you could share any resources, links, or insights that might point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

You can check out our repository with templates. The only caveat that you can't unfortunately build Tart VMs inside of Tart VMs so you need a bare metal Mini or Studio for that. We use Cirrus CI's persistent workers for that reason but any CI will work for simple commands like packer build.

thanks @fkorotkov , that is what I thought, won't be much and yeah know that I need bare metal to do it! Looking at using some EC2 macs for this
