New Features
- Snapshot based image creation
The new version of IMS now provide the capability for the users to create an OS image from a snapshot using APIs. This feature might be useful for some third party tool as Hashicop Packer. Packer is an open source tool to automates the creation of any type of machine image. It embraces modern configuration management by encouraging you to use automated scripts to install and configure the software within your Packer-made images.
