Hi Guys,

How do I get these packages so I can build an openstack image for our private cloud?

I have heard that you need to be subscribed to the suse cloud repository is that correct?

Or can I get these tools from elsewhere?

Thanks

Lance

Which version of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server are you running?

With SLES12 the cloud-init package is available via the Public Cloud module:

## Information for package cloud-init:

Repository: SLE-Module-Public-Cloud12-Pool  
Name: cloud-init  
Version: 0.7.5-8.8  
Arch: x86\_64  
Vendor: SUSE LLC [https://www.suse.com/](https://www.suse.com/)  
Installed: No  
Status: not installed  
Installed Size: 1.2 MiB  
Summary: Cloud node initialization tool  
Description:

according to the fetched configuration data from the admin node.

I don’t see a cloud-utils package.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the reply It seems the IBm ICo “needs” these packages to be able to deploy guests.

So I will keep digging.

Thanks again
