#. Build or download the deploy images
The deploy images are used initially for preparing the server (creating disk
partitions) before the actual OS can be deployed.
There are several methods to build or download deploy images, please read
the :ref:`deploy-ramdisk` section.
The recommended method is to use CoreOS to build deploy images, you will get
one kernel disk ``coreos_production_pxe.vmlinuz`` and one ram disk
``coreos_production_pxe_image-oem.cpio.gz``.
.. note:: If you want to customize your deploy images, please read `Image Builders <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/ironic-python-agent/index.html#image-builders>`_.
#. Add the deploy images to the Image service
Add the *my-deploy-ramdisk.kernel* and *my-deploy-ramdisk.initramfs* images

Add the *coreos_production_pxe.vmlinuz* and *coreos_production_pxe_image-oem.cpio.gz*
