systemvmtemplate: reduce template by using cloud kernel - #5070
Conversation
This switches the systemvmtemplate to use the default linux-image-cloud kernel from Debian backports (v5.10), we don't really need many of the kernel modules such as sound drivers etc in the systemvm. This reduces the space consumed from a whooping 270+MB to just ~70MB by the kernel. Signed-off-by: Rohit Yadav <rohit.yadav@shapeblue.com>

experimental PR to just have the cloud kernel as new default cc @weizhouapache - would be a good win if smoketests pass, from notes I see cloud-kernel ships will all the necessary features the systemvmtemplate/VR needs |
