Hello!
My name is Joe Doss and I want to help the Fedora Cloud SIG bring more frequent tested releases of Fedora Cloud it's user base. The goal of this project is to provide more frequent updates of Fedora Cloud to users on a set cadence or on a case per case basis for major security events.
One major pain point that Fedora Cloud currently faces is the fact that once a new Fedora release comes out, the cloud images are no longer updated over time. This brings a poor user experience if bugs that are fixed later on in the current release cycle but are painful on the first boot of a Fedora Cloud instance until the user updates the instance.
That's not entirely true, the cloud images are updated for major security events. They are also built every day [1]. The issue is to date there's not been a proper process in which they're updated/communicated etc. Over all I welcome what you generally propose.
Fair enough. I guess my major point here is these updated images are not the something that a user can consume on each of the supported cloud providers after the initial GA for the current Fedora release cycle without a bunch of manual work.
Having a release cadence for updating these official images will help users out a lot.
