Kind of, there is a CentOS-7-x86_64-GenericCloud.raw.tar.gz ( compare with CentOS-7-x86_64-GenericCloud.raw.xz ) But again link is not good, and why put raw disk inside the tar? It would me more natural to have compressed image so one can do {z,bz,xc}cat cloud.raw.xz > /dev/lvm/vm-disk for example.
Earlier versions of xz (RHEL 5, I think?) didn't handle sparse files, and we put the Fedora raw cloud image inside a tar for that reason. I don't know if the same applies here, but it might.
