Imagecraft¶
Imagecraft is the command-line tool for building bootable, pre-installed disk images.
It builds an image from a declarative YAML file and is operated through a command-line interface.
Imagecraft centralizes the definition and maintenance of images by keeping the image’s essential details in one place and incorporating processes from common tools.
Imagecraft is for DevOps and platform engineers, systems administrators, and hobbyists who create and maintain images for embedded, IoT, and cloud systems.
