There are quite a few packages added to get the gce images working: optional ones from the manifest <https://github.com/andsens/bootstrap-vz/blob/cc5435237cd4139efe85dfd2787e6b99005f9c5a/manifests/official/gce/jessie.yml> (but part of the official image) and mandatory ones <https://github.com/andsens/bootstrap-vz/blob/cc5435237cd4139efe85dfd2787e6b99005f9c5a/bootstrapvz/providers/gce/tasks/packages.py#L17> ec2 images are pretty basic: manifest here <https://github.com/andsens/bootstrap-vz/blob/cc5435237cd4139efe85dfd2787e6b99005f9c5a/manifests/official/ec2/ebs-jessie-amd64-hvm.yml> , packages here <https://github.com/andsens/bootstrap-vz/blob/cc5435237cd4139efe85dfd2787e6b99005f9c5a/bootstrapvz/providers/ec2/tasks/packages.py#L6> oracle images are the same: manifest here <https://github.com/andsens/bootstrap-vz/blob/cc5435237cd4139efe85dfd2787e6b99005f9c5a/manifests/official/oracle/jessie.yml>, packages here <https://github.com/andsens/bootstrap-vz/blob/cc5435237cd4139efe85dfd2787e6b99005f9c5a/bootstrapvz/providers/oracle/tasks/packages.py#L7> Keep in mind that those are only the packages that are explicitly added, the cloud_init plugin adds the cloud-init packages of course (ntp plugin adds ntp), and most of the images use grub for booting. There are quite a few more places <https://github.com/andsens/bootstrap-vz/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=info.packages> where some packages may be added: All in all the list should be: locales, sudo, openssh-server and isc-dhcp-{client,common} > I'm naively hoping that this kind of doc is already available and I > just haven't found it, but more realistically I'm expecting not... :-) Sorry, no :-/ But it would be a great idea to create a wikipage where all those deviations from standard debootstrap are documented! Luckily the architecture of bootstrap-vz works in a way where you have small tasks that do one thing only (with descriptions to boot!). When running `./bootstrap-vz --dry-run manifests/official/ec2/ebs-jessie-amd64-hvm.yml --log - --debug`, you get this <https://gist.github.com/andsens/30ba30882e7098fd8c9c20ce13d3161e>. You can almost take that log and convert it into a document, it contains the full list of changes to an image :-) -- Anders Ingemann
