This image is meant to be run in an OpenStack environment. It has to conform to OpenStack’s image requirements.
To be usable in OpenStack, it is provided in the qcow2 format and has cloud-init installed and enabled.
dracut-config-rescue is excluded from the image, because the boot loader
entry it provides is broken.
The environments this image is meant to be used in usually don't require any
specialized firmware. Thus, in order to keep the resulting image size small,
all -firmware packages are excluded. An exception is the linux-firmware
package, which cannot be excluded because the kernel package depends on it.
