This is the first step in the effort of combining all documentation about bootstrap-vz into sphinx while still being able to access it from github (github can parse rst as well)

prebootstrapped

---------------
|
|
|
|
When developing for bootstrap-vz, testing can be quite tedious since the
|
|
bootstrapping process can take a while. The prebootstrapped plugin
|
|
solves that problem by creating a snapshot of your volume right after
|
|
all the software has been installed. The next time bootstrap-vz is run,
|
|
the plugin replaces all volume preparation and bootstrapping tasks and
|
|
recreates the volume from the snapshot instead.
|
|
|
|
The plugin assumes that the users knows what he is doing (e.g. it
|
|
doesn't check whether bootstrap-vz is being run with a partitioned
|
|
volume configuration, while the snapshot is unpartitioned).
|
|
|
|
When no snapshot or image is specified the plugin creates one and
|
|
outputs its ID/path. Specifying an ID/path enables the second mode of
|
|
operation which recreates the volume from the specified snapshot instead
|
|
of creating it from scratch.

Settings
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
- ``snapshot``: ID of the EBS snapshot to use. This setting only works
|
|
with EBS backed EC2 configurations.
|
|
- ``image``: Path to the loopbackvolume snapshot. This setting works
|
|
with all configurable volume backings except EBS.
