Tool support for creating images - OpenStack Compute Administration Manual - current
There are several open-source third-party tools available that simplify the task of creating new virtual machine images.
Oz is a command-line tool that has the ability to create images for common Linux distributions. Rackspace Cloud Builders uses Oz to create virtual machines, see rackerjoe/oz-image-build on Github for their Oz templates. For an example from the Fedora Project wiki, seeBuilding an image with Oz.
VMBuilder can be used to create virtual machine images for different hypervisors.
The Ubuntu 12.04 server guide has documentation on how to use VMBuilder.
BoxGrinder is another tool for creating virtual machine images, which it calls appliances. BoxGrinder can create Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or CentOS images. BoxGrinder is currently only supported on Fedora.
VeeWee is often used to build Vagrant boxes, but it can also be used to build KVM images.
See the doc/definition.md and doc/template.md VeeWee documentation files for more details.
imagefactory is a new tool from the Aeolus project designed to automate the building, converting, and uploading images to different cloud providers. It includes support for OpenStack-based clouds.
