We use the Oz tool (see http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/content/ch_creating_images_automatically.html#oz) to build images from scratch and then upload them to Glance. We actually have scripts in place to do both those things automatically each month and it works great for us.

Can I ask once more, in this context, perhaps directed more to the people who have very kindly contributed images so far, for suggestions on what to read.

However, you can't achieve that point of science until you don't know what is FileSystem and How does it works. Read about these: * FileSystems o Ext4, Ext3, Ext2, XFS, JFS, ZFS, UnixFS o VFS, FUSE, inode, superblock Cheers, Muhammed On Fri, Jun 5, 2015 at 12:00 AM, Jay Pipes <jaypi...@gmail.com <mailto:jaypi...@gmail.com>> wrote: Unrelated to the Glance Images building thing, but Jose, I wanted to point you to the Bifrost project, which does standalone Ironic with Ansible :) https://github.com/juliakreger/bifrost/blob/master/README.rst Might be something you and Julia Kreger could collaborate on?
