DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mr. UNTERKIRCHER\, Andreas (CERN)\nVirtual machines 
 can have many different deployment scenarios and therefore may require gen
 eration of multiple VM images. We report on work that has been done in a c
 ollaboration between CERN's Grid Deployment group and openlab to address s
 everal issues with image generation. Libsfimage is a standalone applicatio
 n which generates VM images with a rich selection of Linux distribution. O
 SFarm provides a user interface to libfsimage. In order to optimize genera
 tion of images\, a layered copy-on-write image structure is used and an im
 age cache ensures that identical images are not regenerated. For distribut
 ing images\, content-based transfer has been investigated.\n\nhttp://indic
