It looks the infra team is not satisfied with the large image size. In particular, they need to double the timeout to accommodate the job [1] [2], which made them unhappy. Is there a way to reduce the image size? Or even better, is it possible to build the image locally instead of downloading it?<br>> <br>> [1] </tt><tt><a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/242742/">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/242742/</a></tt><tt><br>> [2] </tt><tt><a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/244847/">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/244847/</a></tt><tt><br>> <br>> Best regards,<br>> Hongbin<br><br>I am not sure how much of the current job is related to image<br>downloading (a previous message suggested maybe it isn't much?). If it<br>is an issue though - we have a tool for making images (DIB[1]) which is<br>already used by many OpenStack projects and it would be great if support<br>was added for it to make images that are useful to Magnum. DIB is also<br>pretty good at making images which are as small as possible, so it might<br>be a good fit.<br><br>I looked at doing this a while ago, and IIRC the atomic images were just<br>an lvm with a partition for a rootfs and a partition for a docker<br>overlay fs. The docs look like more options could be supported, but<br>regardless this seems like something DIB could do if someone was willing<br>to invest the effort.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Greg<br><br>1: </tt><tt><a href="http://docs.openstack.org/developer/diskimage-builder/">http://docs.openstack.org/developer/diskimage-builder/</a></tt><tt><br><br>__________________________________________________________________________<br>OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions)<br>Unsubscribe: OpenStack-dev-request@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe<br></tt><tt><a href="http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev">http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev</a></tt><tt><br><br></tt><br><BR>
