The Ubuntu cloud images: https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/ Are even more generic than that. They are meant to run on "virtualization". They make a nice starting point for simply downloading and booting a server image in KVM for instance. cloud-init has specific code to handle EC2 and OpenStack, but the images themselves are quite generic. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
