Ian Wienand 8e3e66dfbd Speed up chroot checking loop It was noticed on a very busy system this can take about 1s per loop. This starts to add up on thousands of processes. Firstly, prune out all the kernel threads. Then introduce a very small inline python script to find any pids that seem to be in the chroot without forking to examine each one. After that the existing loop just kills anything as before. Change-Id: Icc7bc7eda80ffcd636f97e6542d70c220e9c225e		2016-12-13 12:47:46 +11:00

Image building tools for OpenStack
==================================

``diskimage-builder`` is a flexible suite of components for building a
wide-range of disk images, filesystem images and ramdisk images for
use with OpenStack.

This repository has the core functionality for building such images,
both virtual and bare metal.  Images are composed using `elements`;
while fundamental elements are provided here, individual projects have
the flexibility to customise the image build with their own elements.

For example::

  $ DIB_RELEASE=trusty disk-image-create -o ubuntu-trusty.qcow2 vm ubuntu

will create a bootable Ubuntu Trusty based ``qcow2`` image.

``diskimage-builder`` is useful to anyone looking to produce
customised images for deployment into clouds.  These tools are the
components of `TripleO <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/TripleO>`__
that are responsible for building disk images.  They are also used
extensively to build images for testing OpenStack itself, particularly
with `nodepool
<http://docs.openstack.org/infra/system-config/nodepool.html>`__.
Platforms supported include Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL and Fedora.
