This makes four image builder systems that I know of floating around:
1. build-debian-cloud, version 1 (shell). This builds Amazon and
Google Compute Engine images.
2. build-debian-cloud, version 2 (Python), to be released soon.
3. zigo's openstack-debian-images
https://lists.debian.org/debian-cloud/2013/05/msg00121.html
git://anonscm.debian.org/openstack/openstack-debian-images.git
OpenStack-only (though I suspect the images would work fine with very
little modification on Amazon, at least).
4. Juerg's new OpenStack builder for HP Cloud.
I also have a mostly-working hack to build-debian-cloud (the shell
version) which produces OpenStack images which don't boot. :-) I
stopped working on it when I saw that build-debian-cloud seems about to
be made obsolete.
Hopefully once the Python build-debian-cloud sees the light of day, we
can pick one framework for building cloud images and focus our efforts
on it.
