January 2026: osbuild/image-builder monthly summary. Focused on enhancing authentication flexibility for AWS-based image builds by adding per-build AWS credentials profile support. This aligns with security best practices and enables multi-account workflows, reducing manual credential handling and improving automation reliability across build pipelines.

In 2025-10, osbuild/image-builder delivered cross-cloud image upload capabilities to OpenStack and IBM Cloud, enabling automated image distribution from a single pipeline. The feature includes CLI flags to specify image specs and per-cloud configuration (bucket/region/name) and integrates with provider-specific uploaders. Robust error handling for missing credentials was added to prevent ambiguous failures and improve operator feedback. The IBM Cloud integration fixed a bug referenced as Fix #238, aligning with our multi-cloud strategy and reducing manual steps for image deployment. Overall, this work enhances deployment automation, reduces time-to-value for cloud deployments, and improves reliability of cross-cloud image publishing.

Month: 2025-09 Key features delivered: - Libvirt Image Upload Support: Implemented end-to-end image upload to a libvirt environment. Added new dependencies for libvirt development, introduced Go modules for libvirt integration, and created a libvirtUploader with capabilities to manage connection, storage pool, volume creation, and file upload. Updated UploadAndRegister interface to support an optional upload size. - AWS Image Upload Tagging: Enabled custom tagging during AWS image uploads. Updated the Register function in pkg/cloud/awscloud to accept a slice of tags and apply them to both the EC2 snapshot and the AMI for better organization and traceability of image-derived resources. Major bugs fixed: - No major bugs reported this period. (Focus remained on feature delivery and foundation work.) Overall impact and accomplishments: - Accelerated image pipelines for both on-prem (libvirt) and AWS-backed environments, enabling automated, repeatable deployment of image assets. - Improved resource governance through tagging, enabling easier cost tracking, auditing, and lifecycle management of image-derived resources. - Strengthened technical foundation for future enhancements with explicit libvirt integration and cloud tagging capabilities that reduce manual steps in image workflows. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Go modules, dependency management, and interface design (UploadAndRegister). - Libvirt API integration and uploader pattern. - AWS SDK usage and resource tagging. - Cloud infrastructure automation patterns and developer productivity gains. Commits (references): - 253049652a5df14c7732a9da60fa14e4a1634a9d: Support uploading to libvirt - 7cdf5fa6920ee073a6211cc8f6713d09f588b870: pkg/awscloud: allow setting custom tags when uploading to AWS

Month: 2024-10 — pulp/pulpcore: Delivered targeted documentation improvements to clarify AWS S3 access key permissions for domain creation. The primary deliverable was a documentation update that specifies the exact S3 actions (s3:ListBucket and s3:PutObject) the AWS access key must be able to perform, helping users configure credentials correctly for S3-backed storage. There were no code changes this month; the focus was on reducing onboarding friction and support tickets by making deployment requirements explicit. Impact: improved reliability of domain creation workflows and faster customer onboarding. Skills demonstrated: documentation authoring, AWS IAM / S3 permissions understanding, and alignment with best practices for cloud storage integration.
