Fedora 19 cloud images ready to go!

[Matthew Miller]

Fedora 19 is released today. Get your shiny new cloud images from
 
  http://cloud.fedoraproject.org/


Launch 'em in EC2, or download qcow2 or raw.xz images.

You can use


http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?path=pub/fedora/linux/release...

for a direct download of the x86_64 qcow2 from the mirror nearest you. I'm
working on a shorter, prettier URL. :)

That URL throws a "Not Found" link.

It worked fine for me when I just tried to download the image.

Possibly a problem on one of the mirrors as the release rolls out. Try
again.

Actually, I just learned that 

http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/19/Images/x86...

is a redirect to the same thing. So you can use that instead.

Yea, lots of mirrors don't have *any* of the Fedora 19 images yet. Not sure
whether they didn't have enough time to sync or there's a major issue
there.

Not quite (just the same redirect), but this is:

http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/19/Images/x86_64/F...

This link is populated by mirrormanager, and therefore _should_ only return
links to valid mirrors. I'm not surprised to see a few glitches first thing
this morning, but it should be all settled out.

I noticed the following text in the F19 downloadable cloud images section on
http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options#cloud --

**
Download these images for use with your local private cloud, or to modify and upload to a
public cloud. The qcow2 images can be used directly by OpenStack. The raw.xz images can be
used by other cloud infrastructure software but will need to be uncompressed first. 
For any doubts about running Instances on OpenStack read the official documentation.
**

And the "official documentation" points to openstack.redhat.com - which may be
the official RDO documentation - but I would have thought that "official
documentation" might point to http://docs.openstack.org/ - or as a second guess to
fedora cloud documentation. I'm not sure "official" is the most
descriptive/valid word here - although those docs are reasonably decent - perhaps upstream
or another word would be better?

As an aside: I notice that the upstream, upstream openstack docs (at docs.openstack.org)
currently have a "basic installation guide for F18" showing - is anyone
interested in getting that updated, or is the upstream precedent more likely to be to have
F19 documentation after the release of Havana?

+1 to another word, yeah. We could maybe link to both?

I hope that someone is, but it's probably the OpenStack community people
here who may not be reading deep into this thread about the guest images. I
think those docs come from
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_OpenStack_on_Fedora_18

As a newcomer here I'll say I had an early encounter with that page and
wouldn't mind seeing it improved - not to mention providing a bit more
automation into the setup.  Don't yet feel competent to propose such
improvements, and maybe I'll never get there, but I am keeping notes....

I'd suggest it's up to the Fedora Project what the sensible binding is
in upstream docs (and, perhaps, to "make it so")?  To me it would be the
version that's natively in the distro's repository (so f19 <=> grizzly),
there could then be a pointer to a separate doc on installing a later
version, from source, whatever.
