Description Ben Cotton 2023-05-11 13:35:51 UTC

This is a tracking bug for Change: Fedora Images on Azure
For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Fedora_Images_On_Azure

Azure is a massive public cloud and offering an official Fedora Cloud image there would expand Fedora's user base. It also gives Fedora Cloud users more options when selecting public clouds.

If you encounter a bug related to this Change, please do not comment here. Instead create a new bug and set it to block this bug.

Comment 1 Major Hayden 🤠 2023-05-16 14:39:23 UTC

Images are rolling out now: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2201154

However, they are dynamic VHDs and not fixed VHDs. I used these commands to fix the image and upload it:

qemu-img convert -f vpc -O raw Fedora-Cloud-Base-Azure-Rawhide-20230516.n.0.x86_64.vhd Fedora-Cloud-Base-Azure-Rawhide-20230516.n.0.x86_64.raw
qemu-img convert -f raw -O vpc -o subformat=fixed,force_size Fedora-Cloud-Base-Azure-Rawhide-20230516.n.0.x86_64.raw Fedora-Cloud-Base-Azure-Rawhide-20230516-fixed.n.0.x86_64.vhd

However, there's a new error about the size:

The VHD for disk 'Fedora-Cloud-Base-Azure-Rawhide-20230516-fixed.n.0.x86_64.vhd' with blob Fedora-Cloud-Base-Azure-Rawhide-20230516-fixed.n.0.x86_64.vhd has an unsupported virtual size of 5120.2265625 MB. The size must be a whole number in (MBs)."

Ah here's the right path from Azure's docs:

Comment 3 Major Hayden 🤠 2023-05-16 21:50:43 UTC

Opened an upstream issue with imagefactory to figure out how we can get the code updated:

  https://github.com/redhat-imaging/imagefactory/issues/453

The existing HyperV code seems to do about 1/3 of what we need. I'm not sure if we need a new piece of code for Azure or if we can add to what's already there for HyperV.
