Hi,
CentOS-6.4 i386 and x86_64 images targetting OpenStack are now available for testing at http://dev.centos.org/centos/hvm/ Images are available for KVM, Hyper-V, VMware, Xen and any other HVM hypervisor. Although, the 6.x kernel has the pv support enabled, so should work fine under paravirt Xen as well.
Images are published as raw, qcow2 qcow2compressed and vpc ( vhd ) for both i386 and x86_64 CentOS-6.4 The images represent media versions, and have not had an update run against them. Its highly recommended that in testing, please check this version *then* do a yum update and repeat tests to ensure that there is no test result change in the 6.4+updates tree's.
Keeping in line with the general CentOS Cloud strategy, ie to help people migrate or investigate cloud instances, we expect the images to represent as close as possible to a real machine CentOS install ( ie. no cloud specific user, people use root to login, selinux is enabled ). With some exceptions like isdn support is removed, as is cups and bluetooth since those things make little sense on a cloud instance ( nothing stopping the users from installing them later if they need to ).
Are there also CentOS-6.5 images available? Or has the repository moved to a more official CentOS location and has newer releases available?
The overall aim is to be ready for inclusion of Cloud image release in sync with iso and distro release for next-version ( 6.5 most likely ).
Might not have happened. I think official CentOS cloud images are really important and should be shared broadly.
