Image-factory is a command line tool for building golden Linux images. It uses virt-install to do installations via the network. The installation and configuration of the images is done using the netinstall support from the distributions, i.e.

* preseed for Debian/Ubuntu * Kickstart for CentOS/Fedora * AutoYaST for openSUSE

image-factory is used by IONOS Cloud to build the golden public Linux images for their Enterprise Cloud. The configuration files are shipped with this project to allow anyone to rebuild their images.
