bootstrap-vz is a bootstrapping framework for Debian that creates ready-to-boot
|
||||
images able to run on a number of cloud providers and virtual machines.
|
||||
bootstrap-vz runs without any user intervention and
|
||||
generates ready-to-boot images for `a number of virtualization
|
||||
platforms <bootstrapvz/providers>`__.

generates ready-to-boot images for the following virtualization
|

platforms:
|

|

- `Amazon AWS EC2 <bootstrapvz/providers/ec2>`__
|

(supports both HVM and PVM; S3 and EBS backed;

`used for official Debian images <https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/AmazonEC2Image/Jessie>`__;

- `Google Compute Engine <bootstrapvz/providers/gce>`__
|

(`used by Google for official Debian images <https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/GoogleComputeEngineImage>`__)

Its aim is to provide a reproducable bootstrapping process using
|

`manifests <manifests>`__
|

as well as supporting a high degree of customizability through plugins.
