The focus is to:
- build production ready images
- reduce the image to the minimal required set
- do not expect any specific environment (for patch management etc)
This repository can be used to build
- KVM images
- The templates are only tested with packer 0.5.2 and later.
- This build needs to be run on a Centos Host.
CentOS 7 is the next major release with great new features.
# start the installation
packer build -only=centos-7-qemu-qcow2 centos7.json
# shrink the image size
qemu-img convert -c -f qcow2 -O qcow2 -o cluster_size=2M target/centos-7-qemu.qcow2 target/centos-7-qemu-compressed.qcow2
