Just wondering what the current best platform is for building Fedora
cloud-base images (specifically, for AWS). We're looking at potentially
doing this as part of a community college IT course, then contributing the
documented process back to the Fedora Documentation project.
I've installed ImageFactory with libvirt/qemu on a couple of Fedora
machines now but cannot get an image to build. No matter what I do I get
one of two error messages.
One error seems to read the value out of the <version></version> tages in
the TCL template file, and return that as the error. So if I make the
version "32", it returns "Error: '32'"
The second error mentions needing to run "add_image()' first, but no
documentation I can find addresses this issue so not sure where to go from
here.
Is ImageFactory the current recommended tool, a lot of its documentation
seems to potentially be out of date?
Is HashiCorp's Packer a useful alternative?
Is it absolutely necessary to get the whole Koji toolchain involved?
Can we just build a normal VM image on libvirt with a suitable kickstart
file and use that?
Looking for solutions that aren't too arduous as most students have limited
Linux experience.
Thanks
Mike
