20.46.1. Knowledge Base Article: kb-00045¶

20.46.2. Description¶

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

20.46.3. Solution¶

Current documentation on Image Deploy can be found at:

https://provision.readthedocs.io/en/latest/doc/content-packages/image-deploy.html

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
