# KVM Guest Image
This is an image meant to be used as a generic base image for various
virtualization environments.
This is an image meant to be used as a generic base image for KVM
based hypervisors. It is mainly used with [Red Hat Virtualization
(RHV)][rhv] or [Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP)][rhosp]. Using this
type of image with other types of hypervisors or with cloud providers
is not supported.
To be usable in common environments, it is provided in the *qcow2* format and
has *cloud-init* installed and enabled.
@ -16,3 +19,12 @@ The environments this image is meant to be used in usually don't require any
specialized firmware. Thus, in order to keep the resulting image size small,
all `-firmware` packages are excluded. An exception is the `linux-firmware`
package, which cannot be excluded because the `kernel` package depends on it.
The most common way to consume official Red Hat content using this type of
image is via [Red Hat Subscription Management (RHSM)][rhsm] ([Red Hat
Satellite][satellite] / Red Hat CDN).
