Comment 5 for bug 1993814

> I think the main use case is to bootstrap cloud images so that they can then install other kernels as quickly as possible, right?

This is incorrect. the linux-kvm kernel is lightweight kernel meant for minimal applications running in virtualized environments. The only image it is present on currently (from a cloud-images perspective) are

1. x86 based minimal cloud images in 20.04 forward, downloadable here: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/minimal/
2. x86 based server cloud images labeled as `kvm`, such as : focal-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk-kvm.img , from 20.04 forward

These are useful for, say, a local VM or creating a highly tailored cloud VM in an openstack environment. But there is little public documentation on the KVM kernel

being said, it looks like this has gone stale. Considering the focus of the KVM kernel, it is probably worth defining one of two things

1. if the linux-kvm kernel based x86 minimal images are meant to work out of the box with a general Openstack setup. If so, what do we need to do to improve this experience? or
2. if a linux-virutal based x86 minimal image for download should be created.
