We do publish a qcow2c, the always updated version ( updated each month end ) is at : http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/images/CentOS-7-x86_64-GenericCloud.qcow2c This is a symlink that points to the latest image. At the moment this is : http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/images/CentOS-7-x86_64-GenericCloud-1602.qcow2c There will be a 1603 by the end of this week -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
