Packer Image Builder for Centos 7

Introduction

The focus is to:

  • build production ready images
  • reduce the image to the minimal required set
  • do not expect any specific environment (for patch management etc)

This repository can be used to build

  • KVM images

Requirements

  • The templates are only tested with packer 0.5.2 and later.
  • This build needs to be run on a Centos Host.

CentOS 7

CentOS 7 is the next major release with great new features.

# start the installation
packer build -only=centos-7-qemu-qcow2 centos7.json

# shrink the image size
qemu-img convert -c -f qcow2 -O qcow2 -o cluster_size=2M target/centos-7-qemu.qcow2 target/centos-7-qemu-compressed.qcow2
