[arch-devops] cloud-images

Dear devops team, Recently I have pushed cloud-init back to [community][1], one Arch Linux user did some improvements on the cloud-init codebase as well and they are going to officially support arch linux with version 19.3[2]. Therefore I have added support for cloud-images to the arch-boxes project[3]. These images are qcow2 images and are expected to be installed in cloud-environments like Openstack. The only thing what is missing is a way to distribute the images and release them. My current plan has been that I build and sign them locally and then upload them to a web directory (This is the most secure way as possible right now). For this I need answers for a few questions: 1. Can I have a web-directory, where only I have access to? 2. Which key should I use to sign them? A new cloud-image signing key or my personal key? (I think latter should be enough). 3. I expect to build them monthly like the ISOs, how many images do you want to keep? My current assumption is that 1 year of image backup of cloud-images (qcow2) only would cost us around 30-50GB. 4. Do we want to mirror the images? Best greetings Chris [1] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/cloud-init/ [2] https://git.launchpad.net/cloud-init/commit/?id=5d5a32e039782ce3e1c0843082f… [3] https://github.com/archlinux/arch-boxes/commit/9d9f04f9618367e2af8d92bef2d5…
