RightImages v14.0

Common for ALL Images

• Updated to RightLink 6.0. View the RightLink release notes here >

• The RightLink 5.6 compatibility symlink has been removed. If you have any RightScripts depending on /var/spool/ec2 and wish for it to remain compatible with both lineages, please symlink to /var/spool/cloud directory.
• Removed installation of rightimage-extras package. Now using rightimage-extras-base which installs all of the packages required by the Base ServerTemplate for Linux  (w-6150).
• Removed NTP server "time" from ntp.conf. Custom NTP servers can be pre-configured into a custom image, or passed by setting a tag on a server before launch: rs_agent:ntp_servers=<hostname1>,<hostname2>,etc. 
• The v14 RightImage lineage represents a shift in image building philosophy.  Images now only contain a stock base OS installation and images are expected to use configuration managements tools such as Chef or RightScripts to install all additional packages. If you still wish to install the legacy set of v13 packages, you can install the rightimage-extras package.  This is a meta package with dependencies for the previously installed package set. However, the recommended solution is to properly declare and install all dependencies required in your RightScripts and Chef cookbooks. See Create RightLink 6.0 Enabled Images on the support site for instructions on installing these packages. The following is a package diff between 13.5.2-LTS images and 14.0 RC1.

Ubuntu

• Updated to grub2.

Amazon EC2

• Removed EC2 tools from image (w-6208).
• No longer automatically mount ephemeral drive in /etc/fstab. Mounting ephemeral drives should now be handled by your configuration scripts at boot time (w-6204).
• Update to pv-grub 1.04 (w-6246).
• (Ubuntu) Remove usage of grub-legacy-ec2 to fix issue w/ local changes prompt during kernel install (w-6134)

Google

• Removed Google tools from image (w-6208).
• Set grub timeout to 0 to decrease image boot time.

Openstack

• Support for Juno has been removed.

Amazon EC2

EBS backed instances limited to one ephemeral disk at start.  S3 (instance store) backed instances will vary the number of ephemeral drives attached at boot based on instance size. EBS backed images, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux based images, will only attach one ephemeral disk regardless of instance size.
