## Implementation Choices

To be usable in OpenStack, it is provided in the *qcow2* format and has
|
|
Packit |
63bb0d |
*cloud-init* installed and enabled.
|
|

|
|

`dracut-config-rescue` is excluded from the image, because the boot loader
|
|
Packit |
63bb0d |
entry it provides is broken.

The environments this image is meant to be used in usually don't require any
|
|
Packit |
63bb0d |
specialized firmware. Thus, in order to keep the resulting image size small,
|
|
Packit |
63bb0d |
all `-firmware` packages are excluded. An exception is the `linux-firmware`
|
|
Packit |
63bb0d |
package, which cannot be excluded because the `kernel` package depends on it.
