Description

This project aims to manage operating system images from different public sources (ex. ubuntu and centos) and keep them up to date. It uses webscraping to get the latest builds of the images and stores them locally or in S3 compatible storage.

Using a customizable schema that defines what image, how many versions and schedule, it will strive to keep that at the destionation location (ex. Glance).
