roles change, updates happen frequently, and I'd rather a machine spin up with the latest packages. I've always found that updating a pre-built machine is slower, sometimes substantially so, than just building a fresh image with the newest rpms. That said, some roles can (and often should) be fairly rigid and slow to be updated. But there's not much less of a need for flexible, dynamic builds in the cloud than there is in a local server room; do you build all new local servers based on a pre-built image that you just replicate? Would seem to negate the purpose of a kickstart server ;) Brian
