We’ve been building CentOS 7 cloud images for a while now, but today CentOS released their own ‘Generic Cloud’ image that they intend to use as the base for all their cloud variants.
This is very much a test image and is to be used for validation
purposes only, but we’ve uploaded it to the image testing area on
Brightbox to help people test it out. To use it simply select
img-c3f00
as the image when you create a new server.
Please feedback your findings to the CentOS developers list and help improve the CentOS cloud experience for all.
If you’re not already a customer, you can sign up in about 2 minutes and receive an automatic free £50 credit. Make sure you provide an ssh key so you can access your new CentOS servers after they’re built.
