This seems to be something that might belong on the
Wiki. Looking, I see we have some of this information:
+ https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud This is an overview of tools to
interact with cloud services, and a section on building Debian cloud
images, and a nice where to find more informatio section
+ https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DPL/OfficialImages The page above
links here, which is the requirements document for official debian
images
+ https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/Images_requirements is a placeholder
for what distinguishes a cloud image from a regular debian
installation.
+ https://wiki.debian.org/Testing%20Debian%20Cloud%20Images A place
holder for testing cloud images
I think the section on "Building Debian cloud images" on the top
level https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud could link to a new Official debian
cloud images page, which contains the information above.
I can try and gather all the information in this thread and
create a draft version of that page, and we can add more information as
we go along. It should show up as WIKI.D.O/Cloud/OfficialImages
