Heat - F21 images not available for download

[Gerard Braad]

The file kolla/dev/heat/get-image.sh wants to download the Fedora cloud base

But these images are not available anymore. Fedora 21 has been EOL since the end of last year (12/2015):

This means that the current Heat deployment is unable to work.

Should we change to CentOS?

Fix proposed to branch: master

Basing on Fedora 22 is playing catch-up... as F24 has been released, the EOL of this release will happen within the timeframe of about half a year. Expectancy can be found at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/End_of_life.

The suggestion as given by Cornelio Hopmann is probably the preferred approach: base these images on CentOS instead.

Thank you for reply quickly. I understood the suggestion by Cornelio Hopmann. So, I'm going to change Fedora 22 to CentOS 7. Umm... But, Do you think that which of CentOS 6 and 7 are suitable?

[Gerard Braad (gbraad)]

Let's wait to see what others have to say about this. The current patch is a quickfix and would close this bug. It might be that a new 'wishlist' is created for the use of CentOS images.

Anyways, the preference would likely to use CentOS 7 images as the rest of kolla is tested with this (Using CentOS 6 would introduce another dependency which is untested)

Closing as invalid, we recently removed the heat development environment.
