I think there's still a basic disconnect. Ironic builds a ramdisk image from scratch, currently using DIB, to run IPA in an ephemeral environment for provisioning and cleaning. We can't run just a simple qcow image. I think the current methods using debootstrap are great because it makes it trivial to setup a new image using DIB. If we were to use published debian images, we'd have to edit them, embed the IPA ramdisk, and ensure they're in a separate kernel:ramdisk format to be used as a ramdisk. In my experience, that's pretty difficult to do with a standard cloud image. - Jay Faulkner On Wed, Dec 16, 2020 at 7:29 AM Thomas Goirand <zigo@debian.org> wrote:

Could you please have a quick try with the official "Generic" image from the Debian team? Best maybe would be to try this one:

Only if DIB provides support for it. I'm not inclined to reproduce the whole generation process manually.

Hi Dmitry,
I'm not asking that you switch within the CI, I'm just asking if you can just try the Debian image *once* and *anywhere* you like, just to confirm that the image works. Anyone else volunteering would to do... :)
Cheers,
