HELM VM Image Tooling

Reproducible boot artifacts for an ARM Linux guest.

Infrastructure prototype

HELM VM Image Tooling builds an ARM Linux guest filesystem and packages the kernel, initial RAM filesystem and compressed root image. A checksum manifest records the generated artifacts. A successful guest boot has not been verified.

Highlights

  • Builds an ext4 root filesystem from an Arch Linux ARM base.
  • Collects kernel and initial RAM filesystem artifacts.
  • Compresses the root image and generates SHA-256 checksums.
  • Build scripts and image artifacts were present; no VM was launched in the inventory.
