Build Your Own Virtual machine.

Project description

byov: Build Your Own Virtual machine

There are a lot of ways to describe test servers as virtual machines, the aim of the project is to make it as simple and concise as possible to keep a complete description under version control.

This projects helps maintain throw-away virtual machines (vm) in a simple and consistent way so they can be re-created from scratch easily and used for tests.

It collects various recipes used to build virtual machines for different virtualization tools (kvm, nova, scaleway, lxd, docker, ec2) and relies on cloud-init and ssh access (except for docker).

Virtual machines are described in a configuration file capturing their definition in a few lines and allowing image-based workflows to be defined by chaining vms definitions.

Lacking documentation accessible inline or from the command line, the next best thing is to look at byov/options.py where all options are documented individually, grouped by topic (backend (nova, lxd), command (apt, ssh) or ditribution (debian, ubuntu, amazon)).
