Hello everybody, I think that we should aim at images that are as generic as possible. If it is impossible, we should at least document why. For instance, we could aim to have cloud-init installed by default provided that it runs only where appropriate. Amazon images are booted by PV-GRUB, via a configuration file, /boot/grub/menu.lst, that is not used otherwise if booting the image with GRUB2, used for example when booting with VirtualBox.. So if we can pass parameters to activate cloud-init via the PV-GRUB boot process, we can have it running on Amazon but not on a local VirtualBox. If the same idea can be expanded to the other cloud and virtualisation platforms, this removes one of the needs for separate sets of images. Does that look doable ?
