Hello everybody,
I'm interested in participating in the Cloud Instance SIG and help provide official CentOS images for the Synnefo open source cloud platform:
which is built on top of Google Ganeti:
https://code.google.com/p/ganeti/
Currently, we are providing to our users our 'system' CentOS image which is just a bundle of the official CentOS iso. The image file is just a raw dump of a disk.
Synnefo does not require any special software running inside the image (e.g.: cloud-init) to take care of customization. All customization (setting passwords, hostnames, injecting files, SSH keys, resizing, etc) is done by Synnefo itself in an isolated, virtualized environment for maximum security before spawning the actual VM.
So, it would be nice to just redirect our users to the CentOS official image for Synnefo and Ganeti :)
Hope to take part in this.
Thanks, Constantinos
