CentOS Cloud Instance SIG: Metadata to build & release instances

Build-Instance

This git repo contains kickstart files that define how the various CentOS Cloud Instances are built. These kickstarts are parsed withi virt-install. Every kickstart must be named in the following convention:

CentOS-<release ver>-<arch>-<target>-<tag>.ks

eg:

CentOS-6-x86_64-OpenStack-6.5_20140119.ks

Along with every kickstart is a metadata file, with the same name as the kickstart, except ending with .json ( because they are json files )

Git Tags:

As a part of the instance release process, the content used to build that instance MUST be tag'd away

Notes:

• ReleaseVer must always only be 5 or 6 or 7, never the point release ( but you can overload the TAG component in the name with anything, I like using the point release there, along with the datestamp ).

ToDo:

• Provide some example kickstarts
• Provide some example metadata json's
• Import the virt-install wrapper bash script
