Open Stack

We use the Oz tool (see http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/content/ch_creating_images_automatically.html#oz) 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.

Subject: Re: [Openstack] Glance Images

Thanks for those suggestions, unfortunately I'm in a corporate
environment where I am not able to just throw out images and software
created by any random company and need to have admin teams build the SOE
according to very rigid rules.

Can I ask once more, in this context, perhaps directed more to the
people who have very kindly contributed images so far, for suggestions
on what to read.

Thanks again.

I guess whom you want to create optimize images with minimum size in
order to register them in glance, like official images size (e.g. Fedora
image: ~151 MB ).

However, you can't achieve that point of science until you don't know
what is FileSystem and How does it works.
Read about these:

 * FileSystems
     o Ext4, Ext3, Ext2, XFS, JFS, ZFS, UnixFS
     o VFS, FUSE, inode, superblock



Cheers,

Muhammed

   Unrelated to the Glance Images building thing, but Jose, I wanted to
   point you to the Bifrost project, which does standalone Ironic with
   Ansible :)

   https://github.com/juliakreger/bifrost/blob/master/README.rst

   Might be something you and Julia Kreger could collaborate on?

       Hi,

       Have a look here:
       http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/content/ch_creating_images_manually.html

       Also, I am creating some documentation (still not finished) and
       I have
       just written a small manual about howto create images for Ironic
       (but
       the process is quite similar):

            Does anyone have a link to best-practice image creation for
            openstack glance?

            Eg how to take a windows/linux install and turn it into a
       usable
            generic image to create instances from.

            Thanks.
