Hello Robert,
Thank you for taking the time to answer. I'm currently checking the KIWI
guide you provided. I've looked through it briefly, and my only question
is the following: I already have my head-node (front-end) and the
cloud-node (worker-node) set up and configured, and I was able to manage
(get running, through ONE) the provided ttylinux template from the ONE
website. Currently, I am only interested in having a running
SUSE-image-based VM instead of this ttylinux VM.
So, does this mean that I should be concerned only with the parts
related to the guest-node from the KIWI documentation?
Yes.
What exactly is
the scope of the parts related to the head-node and the cloud-node (why
would I need such images)?
The cloud-node image is useful to allow you to set up a new cloud node
in short order, 5 minutes or less. If you just run your own small cloud
and you do not plan on adding another cloud node then building an image
is overkill.
Having the images also has the advantage that they encapsulate the
knowledge of how to set up and configure a node (head or cloud). Once
you have an image and the need for a new node arises you can just
install the image and do not have to go through the whole configuration
process again.
Also, does KIWI needs to be installed on both
the front-end and cloud(worker)-node, or all the commands are done from
the latter?
KIWI does not need to be installed on the cloud machines at all. KIWI
just needs to be installed on some machine that can function as your
image build machine.
HTH,
Robert
