packer-maas generated CentOS images
CentOS images hosted on images.maas.io are now generated using packer-maas. We now have an automated Jenkins job which produces new CentOS images whenever there are updates available. These images will go into the MAAS candidate stream to be tested before being promoted to the stable stream.
CentOS 6 Removed
CentOS 6 is going end of life November 30th and will no longer be receiving bug fixes or security updates. As such we have removed CentOS 6 from images.maas.io. MAAS does not delete images which have been downloaded but no longer exist in a SimpleStream. If you are no longer using CentOS 6 you must manually delete it. If you still need a CentOS 6 image with MAAS a Packer template as part of packer-maas.
