Building local cloud image

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

 



Just wondering what the current best platform is for building Fedora cloud-base images (specifically, for AWS). We're looking at potentially doing this as part of a community college IT course, then contributing the documented process back to the Fedora Documentation project.

I've installed ImageFactory with libvirt/qemu on a couple of Fedora machines now but cannot get an image to build. No matter what I do I get one of two error messages.

One error seems to read the value out of the <version></version> tages in the TCL template file, and return that as the error. So if I make the version "32", it returns "Error: '32'"

The second error mentions needing to run "add_image()' first, but no documentation I can find addresses this issue so not sure where to go from here.

Is ImageFactory the current recommended tool, a lot of its documentation seems to potentially be out of date?

Is HashiCorp's Packer a useful alternative?

Is it absolutely necessary to get the whole Koji toolchain involved?

Can we just build a normal VM image on libvirt with a suitable kickstart file and use that?

Looking for solutions that aren't too arduous as most students have limited Linux experience.

Thanks
Mike
