In this talk we will discuss the issue of server images, and how it affects inter-cloud portability. We will describe our vision for a universal format which can be shared and improved as easily as a Git repository, and how we're implementing it with cloudlets.
Cloudlets are universal server images for the cloud. They're lightweight, version-controlled, and you can export them to any bootable format known to man: Xen, KVM, Amazon EC2, or just a plain bootable CD. They can be shared and distributed with the semantics of tools such as Git and Mercurial.
Our goal is to build the foundations for truly cloud-independent infrastructures. Our roadmap includes:
* Multi-image stacks * Auto-scaling * Automated integration tests * In-place image editing * Integration with existing VM generation and configuration management tools
