Supported Image Deploy Image Formats

This document outlines the various Image Deploy plugin supportted image formats.

Solution

Current documentation on Image Deploy can be found at:

The image-deploy/image-type param specifies which type of supported image to deploy. When you set this Param on a machine, it is validated against an Enum type list of the supported image types - so you can not set this value to an unsupported image type.

According to the Param type definition, the currently supported types are:

  • tgz - Tar gzip compress filesystem
  • dd-tgz - tar file containing a single gzip compressed disk image
  • dd-txz - tar file containing a single XV compressed disk image
  • dd-tbz - tar file containing a single BZ compressed disk image
  • dd-tar - tar file containing a single uncompressed disk image
  • dd-bz2 - tar file containing a single BZ2 compressed disk image
  • dd-gz - raw disk image that is gzip compressed
  • dd-xz - raw disk image that is XZ compressed
  • dd-raw - raw disk image that is uncompressed
