#229 Sub-Feature: Image Management
Closed: Fixed None Opened 9 years ago by tflink.

While it would certainly be possible to have each bare metal host handle its own image downloading for tasks and execution, that isn't the most efficient method in terms of disk usage or maintenance (making sure old images are removed, etc).

There is some overlap with the sysadmin-ish tasks needed to support disposable clients but some of the features needed are:
downloading images to use for task executor
downloading images to use for target VMs
find already-downloaded images
specify which image to use for task executor in a way that doesn't require package changes or much manual tweaking


Seems like a job for read-only nfs. Let the nfs server handle the job of periodically downloading images.

The bits covered here which aren't complete have been moved to other tickets, closing.
