A blueprint has been registered regarding API additions to Nova to<br>
enable the creation of base images from external OS install sources.<br>
This provides a way to build images from scratch via native OS installer<br>
tools using only the resources provided through Nova. These images can<br>
then be further customized by other tools that expect an existing image<br>
as an input, such as disk image builder.<br>

<br>
If this is a topic that interests you, please have a look (the spec is<br>
not very long) and join the conversation.<br>
<br>
Please note that this blueprint follows on from proof of concept work<br>
for native image building discussed on this list in April:<br>

<br></div><div>I think I can help to add autoyast. I have not tried this tool yet. I will try it and let you know.<br><br>Thanks and Regards<br>Noorul<br></div></div></div></div>
