We should be doing more to ensure initial configuration during configuration. Taken from the steps done by [1], here we set locale.conf and a general timezone. The only reliable UTF8 locale is en_US.UTF-8; we don't want to use C locale as it causes havoc with things like python3 and unicode. We set locale.conf to this. For Fedora 24 ensure we install the en_* locales too (this is really a bug separate to this -- when you log in, by default ssh tries to copy over your locale env variables, so logging into a F24 system would result in using invalid locales for the most common en_* cases). While we are here, setup a timezone link. It turns out infra puppet overwrites this later, but at least we have a sane default.

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 ubuntu
will 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.
