diskimage-builder is a tool for automatically building customized
operating-system images for use in clouds and other environments.
It includes support for building images based on many major
distributions and can produce cloud-images in all common formats
(qcow2, vhd, raw, etc), bare metal file-system images and
ram-disk images. These images are composed from the many included
elements; diskimage-builder acts as a framework to easily add
your own elements for even further customization.
diskimage-builder is used extensively by the TripleO project and within OpenStack
Infrastructure.
