Hey Fedora Cloud WG!
Firstly, thanks for providing Fedora for the popular cloud providers!
Since Fedora 35, the Fedora Cloud images use btrfs by default [1]. For my deployments, I would like to use ext4 or xfs, so my question are:
- Is it possible to change the root file system at deploy time?
- If not, how could one change the cloud images to use a different
root file system?
It is not possible to change at deployment time, you would need to build your own custom images.
Our images are now defined here: https://pagure.io/fedora-kiwi-descriptions/blob/rawhide/f/teams/cloud/cloud....
If you want to use something else, you'd want to have your own version of the definitions and modify that file to use the filesystem of your choice.
Is there a particular reason you want to use ext4 or xfs for your rootfs? Typically the pattern we see is that people attach a secondary volume or use S3 and put their data on that instead of the rootfs.
