Hi,
Great stuff Martyn! I just tweeted this - it looks like a worthwhile
addition to the OpenStack family.
I wonder, is there a way to make template creation easier? Is that what
TIM does?
Hi Dave,
TIM makes Image Factory easier to integrate with Rails apps (such as
Aeolus Conductor).
As far as I'm aware, there is no way of creating the templates other
than writing them by hand.
Though if I recall correctly, Jaromir Coufal is designing UI for
building templates and deployables in Aeolus Conductor.
Maybe that could be extracted to a standalone tool/service afterwards.

Cheers,
Dave.
