[jira] Created: (WHIRR-88) Support image creation
Support image creation
----------------------
Key: WHIRR-88
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-88
Project: Whirr
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: core
Reporter: Tom White
Much of the time taken to start a cluster is in installing the software on the instances. By allowing users to build their own images it would make cluster launches faster. The way this could work is by having a create image step that brings up an instance and runs the install scripts on it before creating an image from it. The resulting image would then be used in subsequent launches.

Tom White commented on WHIRR-88:
--------------------------------
Image creation is cloud-specific, and should be viewed as an optimization. See EBSBootEC2ClientLiveTest for how to create EBS AMIs on EC2 using jclouds. CloudServersClientLiveTest has some code for creating images in Rackspace.
