Feature owner(s): Matthew Miller <mattdm at fedoraproject dot org>
This feature expands Fedora's current cloud image deliverables beyond just EC2, and overhauls how they are produced. The goal is to produce cloud images for EC2 and other cloud deployments for the Alpha, Beta, and Final compose process and distribute them on the mirror network. There will also be nightly or weekly image builds for Rawhide to assist with early development. All images should be constructed using a newer generation of tools.
== Detailed description == * New images that can be used in other cloud deployments (such as OpenStack, CloudStack, or Eucalyptus) will be produced. They will be in a qcow2 format and lack the EC2-specific customization. Images for this feature would ideally work for all cloud deployments and there will be i686 and x86_64 versions of both image types. In total and "image drop" will have 4 images: 2 arches for 2 different types (EC2, not-EC2).
* An image drop will be produced for Alpha, Beta, and Final composes for Fedora 19 and forward.
* Scratch build image drops will be produced on a weekly basis for Fedora 19.
* Scratch build image drops will be produced on a weekly basis for Rawhide as well to enable early testing.
* The Fedora Koji instance needs to be updated to a future release that will integrate with ImageFactory and Oz from the Aeolus Project. This future release is not implemented yet.
* The EC2 images will be automatically uploaded and registered in EC2. The Final AMIs for Fedora 19 will be available in the Amazon marketplace.
