Description

There exist several issues about wanting to access connection details for instance testing etc. (at least https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/issues/3331 https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/issues/3889 https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/issues/4173) which are all closed and locked.
Meanwhile, the needed connection informations (Host=IP, Port, User, Password...) are available to provisioners: https://developer.hashicorp.com/packer/docs/templates/hcl_templates/contextual-variables.
Please add comments to these issues pointing to the up to date documentation so the infos get found when doing an internet search.
