Block device handling can be somewhat complex - especially when taking things like md, lvm or encryption into account. This patch factors out the creation and deletion of the local loop image device handling into a python library. The main propose of this patch is to implement the needed infrastructure. Based on this, more advanced functions can be added. Example: (advanced) partitioning, LVM, handling different boot scenarios (BIOS, UEFI, ...), possibility of handling multiple images (local loop image, iSCSI, physical hard disk, ...), handling of different filesystems for different partitions / LVs.

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=trusty disk-image-create -o ubuntu-trusty.qcow2 vm ubuntuwill 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.
