Image building tools for OpenStack ================================== ``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=bionic disk-image-create -o ubuntu-bionic.qcow2 vm ubuntu will create a bootable Ubuntu Bionic 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.
