4 |
Partition Table manipulation |
5 |
---------------------------- |
6 |
During image deployment the last partiton is enlarged to use all |
7 |
the available disk space. If SWAP property is present an extra |
8 |
swap partition is also added. |

|
10 |
File system Resize |
11 |
------------------ |
12 |
This task enlarges the file system of the last partition to use |
13 |
all the available partition space. |
14 |
|
15 |
Swap partition configuration |
16 |
---------------------------- |
17 |
If swap partition is added during the image deployment, the swap |
18 |
partition is formated and a swap entry is added to the instance's |
19 |
fstab. |
20 |
|
21 |
SSH keys removal |
22 |
---------------- |
23 |
All SSH keys found in the image are removed. For debian instance, |
24 |
where the key creation is not perfored automatically, the keys |
25 |
are recreated by this task. |
26 |
|
27 |
Temporary disable Remote Desktop (RDP) connections |
28 |
-------------------------------------------------- |
29 |
RDP connections are temporarily disabled during Windows |
30 |
configuration. This is done because when sysprep runs, there is a |
31 |
small time interval where the new password is not applied yet thus |
32 |
allowing RDP connections which raises some security conserns. |
33 |
|
34 |
Perform SELinux file system relabeling |
35 |
-------------------------------------- |
36 |
For redhat-based images, since the instance's disk is modified |
37 |
during deployment, a full SELinux file system relabeling needs to |
38 |
be performed. This tasks triggers a full file system relabel at |
39 |
the next boot. |
40 |
|
41 |
Hostname or Computer name assignment |
42 |
------------------------------------ |

The instance name is assigned as hostname (or Computer Name for |
44 |
Windows instances). |
45 |
|
46 |
