Hi Juan, Thanks I didn't know about the --compress option. I uploaded the compressed one (~ 400MB) to: artifacts.opnfv.org/sfc/random/sfc_cloud.qcow2
Just FYI Fuel isn't the only installer that works with SFC, Apex also works. That particular sfc_cloud image has the updated vxlan tool that will work with yyang's latest OVS patches used in Colorado release (/root/vxlan_tool.py).

Here are my results: -rw-r--r-- 1 ejuavid eusers 2,4G ago 5 14:50 sf_nsh_colorado.qcow2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1,6G ene 26 09:11 sf_nsh_colorado.sparse.nocompress.qcow2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 559M ene 23 12:37 sf_nsh_colorado.sparse.qcow2 First one is the original, second one is the sparse without compression, and the third one is sparse and compressed. You can download the sparse&compressedfrom my google drive [0]. It is funny that you get 1.1G. Maybe there is some fine tuning with the sparsify that I already need to look. Thanks a lot for being proactive uploading the qcow. Would it be possible to move the VM somewhere in the 'sfc' subtree in the artifactory? I think that it might be confusing to have the image under the 'apex' subtree when for the moment SFC is only working with fuel installer, and even in the case when more installers are supported, they could all pick them from the 'sfc' area.

Only contributors to infra project can upload images in the opnfv artifactory. You will need to contact them (e.g. [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) Regards, Manuel Juan Vidal ALLENDE <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> 01/25/17 4:19 PM >>> Hello guys, I used the virt-sparsify[0] command to compress the .qcow image sf_nsh_colorado.qcow2 that we are using for our OPNFV-SFC tests, and I reduced the size to almost 1/5 of the original one (559M vs. 2.4G previously). The small tests that I ran went well, so I think that we could start using this VM image, which will reduce the time required to run the tests (download, upload to glance, etc. will benefit from smaller size). My suggestion is to upload it to artifacts.opnfv.org/sfc/demo/sf_nsh_danube_sparse.qcow2 or something like that, and start using it in master (this patch[1] would enable it. Does it look good to you? How can I upload that image to the opnfv public artifactory?
