This is a draft POC for enforced provisioners.
Idea:
This proof of concept demonstrates how Packer's command-line interface can dynamically inject "enforced" provisioners, sourced from HCP, into a build process. To simulate this, the POC currently re-appends a provisioner from the existing template rather than making a live call to HCP, effectively mimicking the runtime injection of an external configuration.
Packer template used:

Logs for the build. As we can see the shell Provisioner has been enforced and has ran twice.
