Metadata for cloud images

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I would really like to add metadata for the Fedora cloud images.  This
serves two purposes:

(1) It provides a way to describe the cloud images available, in a
human- and machine-friendly way.

(2) It means that virt-builder will just work with the existing Fedora
cloud images.

The metadata format is very simple.  Here is an example:

  http://libguestfs.org/download/builder/index.asc

It is also described formally:

  http://libguestfs.org/virt-builder.1.html#create-the-templates

and there is a verification tool in Fedora [virt-index-validate].

My question is: What process creates/uploads the cloud images, and how
do we get it to add the metadata file?  Whatever currently creates the
CHECKSUM file could be modified to create the metadata file too.

virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.  Tiny program with many
powerful monitoring features, net stats, disk stats, logging, etc.
