Thanks to Joey Boggs for putting this together.
A prebuilt guest-image for CentOS 6.5 has been posted to the RDO yum
repository along with the kickstart used to generate it. [1] This was
done in response to the conversation on IRC earlier.
The eventual plan would be to have this image owned and generated by the
CentOS community, perhaps as part of the Cloud SIG. This is just a
stopgap measure until the SIG is up and running.
Let us know if you find any issues with it.
Thanks
Mike

hi Guys,
Worth noting that we are going to be pushing OpenStack specific images
in a few days as well from the centos.org side; These are also the
images we will work with vendors to upstream into various public
openstack offerings.
One big difference is that we push an etc/cloud snippet to disable
cloud-user and enable root logins ( without passwords ).
These images ( for c5/c6 on 32bit/64bit ) are due to be pushed on the
22nd Jan, and will go via the regular distribution channels.

In the RHEL qcow2 images we did not have the right dependencies packaged
up to provide disk resize/growroot.
Because the image jboggs created was based on the same kickstart recipe
as our RHEL qcow2 image, that is why that was omitted.
There's no reason the CentOS image shouldn't have those utilities
though, since there are packages available. From a RHEL perspective
we're still working on importing those packages to be able to create
RHEL images with that functionality.
Lars, you were working on this, right?

LVM is not supported by these tools. If you're using LVM, you can
dynamically expand your storage space while the system is running
without too much effort, whereas with a traditional partitioned image
this is much more difficult.
Using LVM, you should be able to create a new partition spanning the
unused space on the disk image and add that to your existing volume
group.

Are they really OpenStack specific though, or are they more 'Cloud
Enabled CentOS images'?
For Fedora/RHEL, we just have one qcow2 image that works across a
variety of Cloud platforms.
One big difference is that we push an etc/cloud snippet to disable
cloud-user and enable root logins ( without passwords ).
Isn't that a potential security issue? On RHEL guest images we

How do you contextualise for cloudstack / opennebula / brightbox etc ?
Even the AWS images dont quite work as-is all the time everywhere else
down to the xvda -> xvde farkage and how that maps to /dev/sda foo under
kvm.
given enough cycles, its possible for an instance to workout what
controller its running under and then adapt the context scripts to do
the right thing, hopefully with the added bandwidth of community we can
get there.

So, no password access; its by key only. Plus, on firstboot we set a
random root password.

Actually, I take part of my statement back... In RHEL/Fedora we have two
types of images. AMIs for AWS and qcow2 for kvm in general, which also
works under OpenStack and oVirt/RHEV.
But, tbh, I'm not sure what add'l contextualization would need to be
done for cloudstack/opennebula/brightbox. So perhaps those all do
require separate images.
But maybe we can get away with a single image for use in both vanilla
kvm, oVirt/RHEV and OpenStack, since we have done that for RHEL/Fedora,
it should be possible to do it for CentOS as well.

Ah ok. When you said you enabled root logins without passwords, I
interpreted that differently (i.e. empty password, just hit enter to
login). :)
No worries then.

For Fedora, the AMI and the qcow2 contain exactly the same bits. We haven't
done much testing under anything but EC2 and OpenStack, though -- to a
lesser extent Eucalyptus. And, we don't do hvm on EC2, so that simplifies
things.
As we grow into covering more targets we may need to split things up more.
We definitely intend to at least cover CloudStack better.

Karanbir,
Would you be opposed to adding the heat-cfntools RPM in the pre-built
CentOS image that is OpenStack specific? We do this for Fedora 20+ as
well as RHEL 6.5. The RPM is very small and has only one dependency
IIRC and has no init scripts or any default startup that would result in
breakage of the software.
Also, I'm unclear if your planning to add cloud-init to the image, but I
would highly recommend cloud-init for your default images and this is
mandatory to have Heat + CentOS + OpenStack integration.
The heat_cfntools package is necessary for using Heat with Openstack
guest images.
If your not opposed, I've copied Jeff Peeler (Heat Core developer) to
sort out the implementation details from an engineering perspective.

python-boto and python-psutil -- both are in epel. Python-boto is kinda big
(7MB on disk) but is already required by cloud-init so is in practice a

Hi,
How 'production' is this repo :
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/cloud-init/epel-6
wouldnt it be worth upgrading the cloud-init in EPEL ?
Also, the ks the CentOS images are built from looks quite different from
this one, I'm going to try and get the work finished to get that stuff
into git so we can start colaborating on that.
the Cloud Instance SIG is definitely ready to kick off in CentOS-devel

There's is talk on centos-devel (and irc, right now, in #fedora-cloud)
about trying to bring sanity to cloud-init across the various
distributions (and about bumping the cloud-init version in EPEL).

Sorry, I want to clarify :-
It's possible to create glance image and load instance CentOS 6.5 via `nova boot

However , `cinder create --image-id xxxxxxxxxxxxxx --display_name CentOS65 10`
gives me ERROR status in `cinder list`. So it makes impossible create cinder volume for
CentOS 6.5 on glusterfs replicated volume for Compute nodes. What makes instance slow
as openstack cloud instance vs systems available for cinder volumes creation.
