The cloud image is not only used by the cloud providers. As a normal user, I use it extensively on my laptop. Some days ago, a LLVM developer ask me how to setup an arm64 VM quickly, we just used the arm64 openstack cloud image[1], and it works really fine on our laptop. Then he also wants to setup a powerpc VM, as a result, the only VM image we got is built by aurel32 6 years ago. (I know the powerpc is another story since it's a port arch.) But if more archs of the cloud image are available, it would help a lot for developers. [1] https://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Qemu#Use_prebuild_Arm64_image -- Shengjing Zhu
