+	<para><package>BoxGrinder</package> creates appliances (virtual machines) from simple plain text appliance definition files for various virtual platforms. There are effectively three types of transactions that BoxGrinder performs. The first is to create an operating system image (or in BoxGrinder terminology, build). The second operation is to convert the image to the target hypervisor. E.g. this takes the raw disk image and converts it to an EC2 AMI, a XenServer VHD, or qemu QCOW2 file. The final operation is to push the freshly converted image to the destination hypervisor or cloud platform.</para>
