> It would be useful to automatically retrieve information from image revisions and store this information in the database.
> Some examples of information which would be valuable:
> -List of all the applications installed
> -Patches installed
> -Whether or not the firewall is enabled
> -Firewall port exceptions
> -Users stored in the image
> This information would be valuable in many ways:
> -Users could specify which application they want to use on the website and a list of images with that application could be displayed.
> -Licensing -- if you need to know which images contain a specific application in order to plan license purchases or ensure compliance.
> -Security -- Suppose your base image had an extra user account with a weak password.  You could identify any images/revisions created from it and secure them.
