Release Date: 2022-07-26
Previous Versioning: v22.07

Enhancement:

  • Adds Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.
  • Adds CentOS 9 Stream.
  • Adds Rocky Linux 9.
  • Adds AlmaLinux OS 9.
  • Adds SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15.
  • Adds option for setting the number of video displays and the size for the video memory for both Windows 11 and 10, which is useful for virtual desktop use cases (e.g., Horizon). The ability to set the number of displays was added in v1.0.6 of packer-plugin-vsphere.
  • Adds a common option to export machine image artifacts (.ovf,.vmdk, and .mf) to an output path.
  • Removes the default requirement for a trusted root authority certificate to be imported and
    trusted by each machine image build. This will allow project users to get started more quickly
    without a pre-requisite.

Refactor:

  • Refactors builds to use local variables for virtual machine image names and descriptions.
  • Refactors builds to use local variables for ISO paths and checksums.
  • Refactors builds to use local variables for manifest data and output path.

  • Updates required_plugins for packer-plugin-vsphere to >= 1.0.6.
  • Updates required_versions for terraform to >= 1.2.5.
  • Updates Rocky Linux 8 to use other4xLinuxGuest64.
  • Updates Almalinux 8 to use other4xLinuxGuest64.
  • Removes the deprecated CentOS 8 option; end-of-life as of December 31, 2021.
  • Removes the deprecated Windows Server 2016 option; end-of-life as of January 11, 2022.
