Introduction to Kiwi Image Builder: We will provide an overview of the Kiwi tool, its features, and its role in building Fedora Cloud Images.
Setting Up the Environment: We will guide participants on setting up the necessary dependencies and configuring the environment for image building.
Image Customization: We will explore the different customization options available in Kiwi, such as package selection, configuration tweaks, and adding custom scripts.
Advanced Techniques: We will demonstrate advanced techniques for optimizing image size, enhancing security, and integrating with cloud platforms.
Testing and Deployment: We will discuss strategies for testing the built images and deploying them to popular cloud providers.
