We are pleased to announce the immediate availability for CentOS Linux 7 x86_64 images for Vagrant.
This image represents a minimal install set, that lines up with the user expectation for our Cloud Images, our ISO based Minimal installer and the default minimal install profile from the in-distro install options.
Images are released for the VirtualBox and LibVirt providers ( more providers coming soon ). They are also available on the Vagrant Cloud / Atlas service at : https://atlas.hashicorp.com/centos/boxes/7
Anyone using vagrant already can get started with the following two commands :
vagrant init centos/7 vagrant up
-------- The backing files are available for direct download at : * LibVirt: http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/vagrant/x86_64/images/CentOS-7-Vagrant-1505... sha256: 49ac77893c1609d9d79b1b3f1fd0526d77a01cb62563c7c507099c5ab785a6f1

Note: this generic qcow2 file is pre-seeded with the vagrant user, and can be used to setup backing instances for more providers.
-------- If you intend to hardcode urls into automation scripts etc, I highly recommend using the short link urls, these point at the latest released image set and will be updated when backing media is updated for security issues, bugfix, feature upgrades.
virtualbox: http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/vagrant/x86_64/images/CentOS-7.box
libvirt: http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/vagrant/x86_64/images/CentOS-7.LibVirt.box
-------- Update cycles for these images is currently set to once per month, but we might update out of band for major security issues. Every update will see a new image set released, with the short link urls pointed to the new images. all image updates will be announced to the centos-announce list.
We welcome all feedback, find us on the CentOS-Devel list (http://lists.centos.org ), or in #centos-devel on irc.freenode.net or on our issue tracker at http://bugs.centos.org/
Enjoy,
