Hi there,

I’m from Online/Scaleway.
It's possible to use your image on our platform. You can build an image from scratch by bootstrapping a secondary volume on a running server.
Once the secondary volume is bootstrapped, just snapshot the volume and create an image from it.
We have a documentation explaining how to bootstrap an image from scratch (https://www.scaleway.com/docs/create_an_image_from_scratch)
The documentation is for debian system but the same process applies for any distribution.

Fabian is you have not enough nodes or enough Public IP for the first builds, let us know, we will increase your quota.

Please reach out to moul on our IRC #scaleway - irc.online.net if you need help with building the first CentOS image.
