Some OpenStack Images by Kurt Garloff

These images have been prepared by me for convenience to simplify the deployment of OSISM and Jitsi on OTC and other OpenStack clouds.

Ubuntu 18.04 (2020-03-26, sha256, sig): cloud-init tweaked to accept text/x-shellscript in multipart user-data as cloud-config data, see (merged) PR #290 and treating ens3 as first interface, see (unmerged) PR #235. Intended for OSISM testbed.
Ubuntu 20.04 (2021-02-15, sha256, sig): OTC image with updates from 2021-02-15 (sudo amongst others), for registration with 20GiB min-disk. Use openstack image create --disk-format qcow2 --min-disk 20 --min-ram 512 --file "Ubuntu-20.04-20210215.qcow2" --property image_build_date="2021-02-15" --property image_original_user="ubuntu" --property architecture="x86_64" --property os_distro="Ubuntu" --property os_version="20.04" --property hw_disk_bus=scsi --property hw_scsi_model=virtio-scsi --property hw_rng_model=virtio --property hw_vif_multiqueue_enabled=true --tag os:ubuntu --tag path:os:linux:ubuntu --property __support_kvm="true" --property __os_version="Ubuntu 18.04 server 64bit" "Ubuntu 20.04" Intended for OSISM testbed.

With this, you would promise to do at least monthly updates until end of Nov of 2026 and leave the old images accessible by uuid (for the last 3 versions -- but likely under a different name or hidden).
On OTC, you need to add --property __os_version="OpenSUSE 15.1 64bit" --property __support_kvm=true. For the Ubuntu image for OSISM, on OTC, you would use --min-disk 30 --property __os_version="Ubuntu 18.04 server 64bit" --property __suport_kvm="true" and of course adjust filename and image name. You can lower the min-disk property down to 5(GiB) if you like. For clouds with ceph backend storage, registering raw images may be preferrable, as you can use copy-on-write for image deployment which saves time and storage space. You could use qemu-img convert -S4k -Oraw openSUSE-15.6-JeOS.x86_64-1.15.6.28.qcow2 openSUSE-15.6-JeOS.x86_64-1.15.6.28.raw to convert and then replace --disk-format and --file in above call with raw.
See the SCS image metadata spec for recommended image metadata.

Actually, I have created a little script imgreg.sh that I use for image registration. Just call imgreg.sh [--otc] [--raw] [--community] [--manager NAME] IAMGE.qcow2. You may find it handy ...

openSUSE 15.6 with KinD

openSUSE 15.6 images with the openstack tooling, based on JeOS-1.15.6.17 (and later). Default ssh user name is linux, like with the other openSUSE images of mine.
