hi Guys,
As we get ready to start publishing Cloud Images ( or rather images consumable in various virt platforms, including public and private clouds ) - it would be great to have a baseline package manifest worked out.
What / how many images should we build. At this time we were thinking of doing :
CentOS-5 32bit minimal
CentOS-6 32bit minimal
CentOS-5 64bit minimal
CentOS-6 64bit minimal
CentOS-5 64bit LAMP
CentOS-6 64bit LAMP
What would be the minimal functional requirements people would expect from these images ? and what rpms should be installed ? Should root login be enabled or should we require people to go in via a 'centos' user. Should the image be self-updating, or should we have a post-login message that indicates outstanding updates ?
Hi,
Since I've already been messing with such images I kind of know what I need: 1 - acpid, so virsh reboot/shutdown will work 2 - cloud-init for openstack images; also it would be nice if the image could resize itself at first boot 3 - nano & wget to make the life easier for newbies
I don't think it's worth the effort to build Centos LAMP images, since it's just Centos minimal + "yum install httpd mysql-server php-mysql etc".
