Script in RDU2 that will build automatically on the 29th for Docker, cloud images, ISOs. Generic cloud, raw cloud, Docker container, Vagrant image, and ISOs Need to get these in the QA harness. Currently need to be tested by hand. ISO has all the updates smashed into base, latest versions of RPMs. No ISO for 5 & 6. Cloud images are yum updated. Docker needs to build a new image, as it would otherwise overlay. Expose tests so others can verify the images; we trust our own tests but you shouldn’t. Reduce good enough to as many automated tests as possible. Live CDs? Heavily promote the idea that ‘yum update’ should be frequent, unless you have a specific reason not to. Run a cloud image that is a snapshot in time.
