We use the Oz tool (see <a href="http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/content/ch_creating_images_automatically.html#oz" class="">
http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/content/ch_creating_images_automatically.html#oz</a>) to build images from scratch and then upload them to Glance. We actually have scripts in place to do both those things automatically each month and it works great for
us. <br class="">

Thanks for those suggestions, unfortunately I'm in a corporate<br class="">
environment where I am not able to just throw out images and software<br class="">
created by any random company and need to have admin teams build the SOE<br class="">
according to very rigid rules.<br class="">
<br class="">
Can I ask once more, in this context, perhaps directed more to the<br class="">
people who have very kindly contributed images so far, for suggestions<br class="">
on what to read.<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks again.<br class="">

I guess whom you want to create optimize images with minimum size in<br class="">
order to register them in glance, like official images size (e.g. Fedora<br class="">
image: ~151 MB ).<br class="">
<br class="">
However, you can't achieve that point of science until you don't know<br class="">
what is FileSystem and How does it works.<br class="">
Read about these:<br class="">
<br class="">
* FileSystems<br class="">
o Ext4, Ext3, Ext2, XFS, JFS, ZFS, UnixFS<br class="">
o VFS, FUSE, inode, superblock<br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
Cheers,<br class="">

Unrelated to the Glance Images building thing, but Jose, I wanted to<br class="">
point you to the Bifrost project, which does standalone Ironic with<br class="">
Ansible :)<br class="">
<br class="">
https://github.com/juliakreger/bifrost/blob/master/README.rst<br class="">
<br class="">
Might be something you and Julia Kreger could collaborate on?<br class="">

Hi,<br class="">
<br class="">
Have a look here:<br class="">
http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/content/ch_creating_images_manually.html<br class="">
<br class="">
Also, I am creating some documentation (still not finished) and<br class="">
I have<br class="">
just written a small manual about howto create images for Ironic<br class="">
(but<br class="">
the process is quite similar):<br class="">

Does anyone have a link to best-practice image creation for<br class="">
openstack glance?<br class="">
<br class="">
Eg how to take a windows/linux install and turn it into a<br class="">
usable<br class="">
generic image to create instances from.<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks.<br class="">
