We somewhat discussed skipping qcow2 generation previously in I9372e195913798a851c96e62eee89029e067baa1. As recent issues with PPC testing have shown, we are not actually testing the "vm" element and hence the bootloader path in the functional tests. I don't think we need to test this on every element; it overlaps somewhat with the testing done by the nodepool jobs which build full images and boot them. I also didn't want to introduce a separate run for this. Thus it seems valuable to at least have one element enhanced to do this installation and conversion in our default tests for basic sanity. This disables qcow generation by default, as per the other change, but allows an element to drop a file that will override the output formats. The Xenial element is modified to produce a qcow2 using this, and also introduces a dependency on the "vm" element so it tries to install the bootloader. We now exit if the .qcow2 fails to build as well. Change-Id: I1a6acefe52f8c696c39b2d592fdc7ae32a87e6fe
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.
