Hey Dan The Ubuntu images used to bring up a vSphere VM are downloaded from cloud-images.ubuntu.com. We use images in an ova archive format. Here's where the xenial ones are sourced from for example: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/xenial/current/
Juju uses simplestreams metadata to select the relevant image to be used, based amongst other things on the series defined in the charm. For Ubuntu images, the simplestreams metadata is here: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/streams/v1/ For images other than Ubuntu for use with Juju (eg centos), we publish the metadata and image files elsewhere as they are not officially supported on cloud-images. We only support centos7 images on AWS and Azure as can be seen here: http://streams.canonical.com/juju/images/releases/streams/v1/ It's possible to "roll your own" image metadata and point that to a centos ova image archive which should in theory work, but is not something we have tested as to date there's not been a call for it to my knowledge. This metadata is provided to Juju using the --metadata-source argument to bootstrap. There's tooling to generate the image metadata (juju metadata generate-image), but bear in mind that to date it's been used more as an advanced tool for internal use and has some rough edges. There's some level of doc here which explains the basics of setting up a private Openstack cloud: https://jujucharms.com/docs/stable/howto-privatecloud The above would need to be adapted to accommodate vSphere and centos images. Things like where the image binaries would be hosted and made available to vSphere would need to be sorted out. As I said, this is not something we have invested time in testing as so far there's not been a call for it. Very hand wavy, the steps would be: - generate centos ova image archives - host them somewhere accessible to vSphere and the bootstrap client - generate image metadata cataloging the above images - bootstrap juju using --metadata-source to point to the image metadata ie it should or could be made to work with Juju as released but we've not tested it. We can help you get things set up if that helps, and document the steps for the next person as we go along.
