Get images
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
The simplest way to obtain a virtual machine image that works with
|
|
OpenStack is to download one that someone else has already
|
|
created. Most of the images contain the ``cloud-init`` package to
|
|
support the SSH key pair and user data injection.
|
|
Because many of the images disable SSH password authentication
|
|
by default, boot the image with an injected key pair.
|
|
You can ``SSH`` into the instance with the private key and default
|
|
login account. See `Configure access and security for instances
|
|
<https://docs.openstack.org/horizon/latest/user/configure-access-and-security-for-instances.html>`_
|
|
for more information on how to create and inject key pairs with OpenStack.

CirrOS (test)

CirrOS is a minimal Linux distribution that was designed for use

You can download a CirrOS image in various formats from the
|
|
`CirrOS download page <http://download.cirros-cloud.net>`_.
|
|
|
|
If your deployment uses QEMU or KVM, we recommend using the images
|
|
in qcow2 format. The most recent 64-bit qcow2 image as of this
|
|
writing is `cirros-0.3.5-x86_64-disk.img
|
|
<http://download.cirros-cloud.net/0.3.5/cirros-0.3.5-x86_64-disk.img>`_.

They are made at the same time as the CD and DVD images of Debian.
|
|
Therefore, images are available on each point release of Debian. Also,
|
|
weekly images of the testing distribution are available.
