Frequently Asked Questions

(For some definition of “frequently”.)

General

Can Aeolus run in a virtual machine?

Sort of. Image Factory requires bare metal for building images, except for EC2 and the (fake) “mock” provider. The rest of Aeolus is perfectly content to run in a virtual machine.

Does Aeolus support Openstack?

Sadly, we don’t have full support just yet. We’re working on it, though!

Image Factory

How do Oz and Image Factory relate?

Oz builds the images. Factory takes KVM images built by Oz, customizes them as needed for a given cloud provider and then uploads/pushes to the provider in question.

Can I build Windows guests?

No, this is not presently supported.

Where can I find examples of templates to build?

Take a look [here|https://github.com/clalancette/oz/tree/master/examples] and [here|https://github.com/aeolus-incubator/templates]
