Re: CentOS 7 AMI Building

I highly recommend actually looking at the images :)

its just a minimal install with cloud-init from extras/ added in ( for
7, the 6 ones dont have cloud-init ).

the installed content delivered from the minimal.iso and the ami's
should be identical in pretty much every respect. If you really want a
kickstart for it, I can build one, but just run a minimal.iso install,
add cloud-init to the %packages and bob's your uncle.
