<br>
I am looking for a solution to generate centos/rhel based vm images which can be deployed on EC2, XEN and VMWare. I found this article which mentions a number of such tools.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/content/ch_creating_images_automatically.html" target="_blank">http://docs.openstack.org/<u></u>image-guide/content/ch_<u></u>creating_images_automatically.<u></u>html</a><br>
<br>
I was wondering there are any fellow pluggers who have tried any of these already and what their experience was. Boxgrinder hasn't been updates in some time and seem to no longer be under active development. VMBuilder doesn't seem to support centos/rhel. Oz looks interesting, but also hasn't been updated recently.<br>
<br>
Any other suggestions are welcome as well.<br>
