The page mentions packer:

Packer is like terraform in that IBM provides a supported plugin to the packer tool.
Expected: A topic page that answers a few basic questions about packer with links to the packer docs at hashicorp and IBM plugin information with a getting started and a simple full example in github that can be used.
