[RFE] Deploy AMIs from the public catalog
Last modified: 2017-08-28 11:10:29 EDT
Description of problem: During instance provisioning the public catalog from Amazon should be viewed and the user should be able to pick one of the public AMI templates for provisioning. The list of public AMI should be searchable too.
Is this resolved with the get_public_images advanced setting? https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_CloudForms/3.1/html/Management_Engine_5.3_Release_Notes/chap-Enabling_Public_AMIs_from_Amazon_EC2.html
HiHo, the customer is asking for a more elaborate catalog. After enabling the before mentioned feature, you see all images, but with very little details. The customer is asking for a more user friendly interface like the one provided by AWS where you have a short and long description, see the target architecture (64 or 32 bit), root device and virtualization type, if the image is available for free and an icon. I don't think we have to provide a 1:1 copy of the Amazon interface, but the one we have right now is rather basic. Oh, and a search box which searches all the useful fields is missing too. HTH, Christian
