Many elements install additional distribution packages. In addition the user can provide a set of packages to be installed via the '-p' switch. Some of them influence the boot process and therefore the initramfs needs to be updated. Because the package manager during the image creation process is configured not to run package scripts, this needs to be done explicitly. This issue was found during development and debugging of the block-device LVM plugin: Even when the e.g. the lvm2 package was installed in the image, it was missing in the initramfs because of the missing update.

Image building tools for OpenStack
diskimage-builder is a flexible suite of components for
building a wide-range of disk images, filesystem images and ramdisk
images for use with OpenStack.
This repository has the core functionality for building such images, both virtual and bare metal. Images are composed using elements; while fundamental elements are provided here, individual projects have the flexibility to customise the image build with their own elements.
For example:
$ DIB_RELEASE=trusty disk-image-create -o ubuntu-trusty.qcow2 vm ubuntuwill create a bootable Ubuntu Trusty based qcow2
image.
diskimage-builder is useful to anyone looking to produce
customised images for deployment into clouds. These tools are the
components of TripleO that are
responsible for building disk images. They are also used extensively to
build images for testing OpenStack itself, particularly with nodepool.
Platforms supported include Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL and Fedora.
