diskimage-builder is a flexible suite of components for building a
wide-range of disk images, filesystem images and ramdisk images for
use with OpenStack.
This repository has the core functionality for building such images, both virtual and bare metal. Images are composed using elements; while fundamental elements are provided here, individual projects have the flexibility to customise the image build with their own elements.
For example:
$ DIB_RELEASE=trusty disk-image-create -o ubuntu-trusty.qcow2 vm ubuntu
will create a bootable Ubuntu Trusty based qcow2 image.
diskimage-builder is useful to anyone looking to produce
customised images for deployment into clouds. These tools are the
components of TripleO
that are responsible for building disk images. They are also used
extensively to build images for testing OpenStack itself, particularly
with nodepool.
Platforms supported include Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL and Fedora.
