[Discuss] New built-in templates for CloudStack
Hi All,
As it looks like we're losing download.cloud.com and going to have to write new database entries for all of the built-in templates, I think that it's worth taking stock of the templates that we're using and trying to consolidate them.
CentOS 5.3(64-bit) no GUI (XenServer)
CentOS 5.5(64-bit) no GUI (KVM)
CentOS 5.6(64-bit) no GUI (XenServer)
CentOS 6.4(64-bit) GUI (Hyperv)
CentOS 5.3(64-bit) no GUI (vSphere)
CentOS 7(64-bit) no GUI (LXC)
I think we should pick one OS and version and have that available across all hypervisors if possible. My criteria would be small, current, can support user-data and password reset and is an OS *most* Linux people would be comfortable with.
Thoughts?
Kind regards,
Paul Angus

So I would say Debian or CentOS?
A Debian minimal install is very small and easy. But do we want to maintain a template as well? Isn't it easier to link somewhere?
We at PCextreme build our templates using Packer btw, the source code is available here: https://github.com/PCextreme/packer-templates

Thanks Ian,
Nux, could help us with this, but we can't have a product dependence on a third party.

Nux has a good selection of the popular OSs available over at http://dl.openvm.eu/cloudstack/
Afaik all are fairly minimal, working with cloud init, ssh key injection, password reset etc.
