What's new in Image Builder?
summary
Image Builder constructs Fedora, CentOS Stream and RHEL images from RPMs and uploads them to AWS/Azure/GCP/OCI/OpenStack/VMware; it now supports embed containers (downloads a container into the image so Podman never pulls), OpenSCAP hardening applied at build time, custom partitioning (example: /var 10 GB), and a rewritten UI plus CLI. The demo builds a Fedora 37 qcow2 in ~5 minutes, includes Podman with a GitLab-hosted web container exposed via a systemd unit, enables firewall rules and passwordless sudo, and boots successfully.
